Criminal Indecent Exposure
Definition:
Indecent exposure is the crime of displaying one's genitalia to one or more people in a public place. California Penal Code section 314 makes it a crime to expose one's self in a public place. Both people who intend and those who do not intend to expose themselves, such as public urination, can be charged with indecent exposure.
Consequences of Indecent Exposure:
A misdemeanor indecent exposure conviction, under California Penal Code 647, carries a penalty of up to five (5) years of misdemeanor probation, up to one (1) year in the county jail, and a fine of up to $1,000.00 plus court penalties and assessments. A second, or subsequent offense of indecent exposure, can be charged as a felony and carry much harsher penalties, including state prison sentences. An indecent exposure conviction requires lifetime sex offender registration. The issue of intent is factored into the case.What a Lawyer can do for you:
