About Indecent Exposure in California

Indecent exposure is a type of lewd conduct (indecent; sexual in an offensive way) that involves an offender intentionally exposing his or her genitalia in a public place or to a third party, usually for the purpose of personal arousal or to offend or arouse others. Accidental exposure and breast feeding do not constitute indecent exposure in California. Additionally, it is not required that another person actually saw the exposed genitals for a person to be charged under this law.

Depending on the case, indecent exposure may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. Most often, first offenses of this kind are charged as misdemeanors, but subsequent offenses or intentional exposure to a child may be charged as felonies. Although often considered a lesser sex crime, indecent exposure is a sex crime that will require sex offender registration in California.
