Criminal Sex Offense Law - Indecent Exposure

What is Criminal Indecent Exposure Law?

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. A conviction for misdemeanor indecent exposure, 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. A conviction of indecent exposure requires lifetime sex offender registration. Both people who intend and those who do not intend to expose themselves, such as public urination, can be charged with indecent exposure.
