A woman who was convicted of having sex on a Manatee County beach will not spend any more time in jail.
On Wednesday, a Bradenton judge sentenced 20-year-old Elissa Alvarez to time served.
Alvarez and Jose Caballero, 40, were charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition stemming from an encounter on Cortez Beach just after 8 p.m. on July 20, 2014.
Witnesses had videotaped the couple and called 911 to complain that they were acting inappropriately in front of families, including very young children, enjoying a Sunday afternoon at the beach.
She had faced 15 years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
According to the Bradenton Herald, Alvarez accepted the state-recommended sentence during a hearing scheduled to discuss setting a sentencing date.
Defense attorney Greg Hagopian said she is embarrassed by the incident.
Alvarez, who's been in custody since May 4, was released Wednesday evening.
Because she doesn't have a criminal record, her conviction was withheld. She still must register as a sex offender unless she appeals.
Caballero will be sentenced July 6.
