Indecent Exposure in San Bernardino & Riverside

A sex crime is participation in a sexual activity that is illegal according to state or federal law.  Indecent exposure is the display of bare parts of the human body, which would normally be clothed in accordance with legal standards.  The most common form of indecent exposure is the showing of genitals in public, which is illegal according to state and federal law.

If a person exposes himself/herself to a minor (a person below the legal age of consent), it is considered a more serious offense and will typically involve harsher legal consequences.  If the person makes physical contact with another person while indecently exposing himself/herself, they can be charged with both indecent exposure and sexual assault.  

Once a person is convicted of indecent exposure, he/she faces a variety of harsh legal penalties.  These penalties can include:  imprisonment, monetary fines, probation, community service, court ordered rehabilitation, and mandatory registration as a sexual offender.  Once a person is listed on the public sex offender registry, he/she may have limited employment, housing, and schooling opportunities.

Aside from legal consequences, a person convicted of indecent exposure faces the negative stereotype of being labeled a sex offender by family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
