The McDonnell Law Firm, PLLC | Patrick J. McDonnell
Sentencing, including fines, are set by the judge. The maximum fine for public lewdness, a class 'A' misdemeanor, is $1,000. Your fine could be anywhere up to that plus a state mandatory surcharge thanks to Governor Cuomo (the first one). The courts usually want you to pay immediately but they will usually give you time to pay if requested. 30 or 60 days to pay is common.

Most courts will give you a month to pay the fine and surcharge. You should retain a good lawyer to try to get the charges dismissed. It would not be good to have a public lewdness charge on your record.
