Orlando Indecent Exposure Attorney

Experienced Defense for Sex Crime Charges

Laws in Florida regarding indecent exposure refer to the display, exhibition, or exposure of an individual’s sexual organs in a public place or while in public view. To do so is illegal and can lead to serious penalties. In order to prosecute an individual for indecent exposure, however, the state prosecutor must establish the defendant’s unlawful intent, the act of exposure, and the location of the crime.

The elements of indecent exposure include the following:

• Sexual organs were exposed by the accused

• The accused was in a public place, on the premises of another, or near the private property of another as to be seen from those private locations

• Accused intended exposure in a crude, offensive, lewd, or lascivious manner

• The exposure was enacted in a vulgar, indecent, lewd, or lascivious manner

Penalties

If you are convicted of the crime, you would be guilty of a 1^st-degree misdemeanor. You could get up to a year in prison, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. However, if your crime involved minors under the age of 16, the charges can rise to felony level.

If a defendant over the age of 18 exposes genitals in a lewd manner or masturbates in front of an individual under the age of 16 in person or online, he or she could face a possible 2^nd-degree felony. If convicted, a person could get up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. If this offense is committed by a minor, it is a 3^rd-degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Likewise, in some cases, a judge could order the defendant register as a sex offender. However, this particular punishment would depend on the particular circumstances of the case.
