Indecent Exposure Laws
Each state, and even city, may have different laws regarding exactly what is indecent. Offenders often commit indecent exposure for personal sexual gratification, and some states require the exposure be motivated by the desire for sexual gratification.
Other states don't require nudity to occur for some one to be charged with indecent exposure; any lewd conduct in public may be considered indecent exposure.
If the offender makes any physical contact with another person, the offense may be considered sexual assault.
Indecent exposure may be charged as sexual misconduct, public lewdness or public indecency in some states.
