FLORIDA INDECENT EXPOSURE LAWS
In Florida, indecent exposure is legally defined as the exposing of sexual organs in a public place or while in public view. Depending on the case, indecent exposure can lead to misdemeanor charges or, in the most serious situations, felony allegations.
- Misdemeanor - In most cases, indecent exposure is prosecuted as a misdemeanor punishable by large fines, up to 1-year imprisonment, or both.
- Felony- In cases involving exposure to minors under the age of 16, charges may be elevated to lewd and lascivious exhibition, a felony crime. This charge is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Indecent exposure can encompass a wide range of actions, from urinating in an alleyway to changing out of a bathing suit in a public place to the act of “flashing.” As with any criminal charges, the unique facts and circumstances of a case will always come into question when determining if a person should be convicted and penalized for indecent exposure.
Our Fort Lauderdale indecent exposure attorneys can help clients challenge the validity of the charges against them by focusing on:
- A lack of unlawful intent
- The nature and act of exposure
- The location of the alleged act
