What is indecent exposure?
Indecent exposure under California Penal Code Sec. 314 is not categorically a crime of moral turpitude. Ocegueda Nunez v. Holder – filed February 10, 2010. Misdemeanor Indecent Exposure may be punished with six months in a county jail, a fine of up to $1,000,[5] and the obligation to register as a Sex Offender[6] for at least ten years. A Felony conviction for this can occur when aggravating facts are present. It includes criminal offenses like lewd conduct. While most people think it only happens in public, it can happen in just about any environment. Penalties for this vary. A Felony conviction for this can occur when aggravating facts are present. This makes §314(1) a “wobbler”: the prosecution can charge you with a Felony or a Misdemeanor, depending on the facts. Exposing one’s genitals means just that to reveal one’s bare genitals.
