Philadelphia Lawyer Defending Those Charged With Indecent Exposure, Public Indecency or Lewdness
Generally, a person commits indecent exposure "if that person exposes his or her genitals in any public place or in any place where there are present other persons under circumstances in which he or she knows or should know that this conduct is likely to offend, affront or alarm."
Charges of indecent exposure occur in many circumstances. Exposing one's genitals in a movie theater, engaging in sex in a public area, or deliberately exposing oneself to shock a stranger can result in charges. But there are also many possible defenses. Mistaken identity of the perpetrator, or asserting you did not intend to expose yourself can be effective defenses. The charges and potential penalties depend on the circumstances. Exposing oneself to a minor, for example, results in more serious charges.
