LOS ANGELES (KABC) --"Django Unchained" actress Daniele Watts has been charged with lewd conduct for alleged indecent exposure in a public space.
The actress was detained by Los Angeles police in September after a citizen called and reported that two people were "involved in indecent exposure" in a silver Mercedes-Benz. Police released her after determining that no crime was committed.
Following the incident, Watts claimed the only thing she did was kiss her boyfriend while sitting in a car and said she doesn't understand why she was treated like a criminal by police.
Watts and her boyfriend, Brian Lucas, were in a car parked at Radford and Ventura boulevards in Studio City. The actress says the car door was open and she was sitting on Lucas' lap kissing him when a man approached them, telling them to "stop putting on a show."
Watts, who is best known for her debut role in "Django Unchained," also claimed the incident was racially charged, because she is black and her boyfriend is white. The two said they were talking to the ACLU and the NAACP to weigh their options and decide if they will take any legal action against the LAPD.
According to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, Watts' lewd conduct charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in county jail and a $1,000 fine.
