Indecent Exposure in California
Get a Ventura indecent exposure attorney to fight for you!
An indecent exposure charge can be an unpleasant and embarrassing ordeal. Those who are arrested for indecent exposure may have had no way of knowing that their actions would be considered offensive. There is a crucial element in trying to prove indecent exposure, though. You must have been fully aware and intended to expose yourself.

Components of Indecent Exposure Charges
For a person to be convicted of indecent exposure, the prosecution must prove that the accused person sought to bare their body parts for at least one other person to view and that the act was carried out to be purposely sexual or otherwise offensive. The penalties for a first-time offense are quite severe and might include a misdemeanor conviction.
Other penalties for the first offense may include the following:
- Fines up to $1,000
- 6 months in county jail
- Mandatory registry as a sex offender (under California Penal Code Section 314)
It is important to note that registration as a sex offender follows you for the rest of your life. You can help avoid this by contacting a Ventura sex crimes lawyer, such as Attorney Christopher P. Welch. He is renowned for his aggressive style of defense, which can be utilized to help you secure a favorable outcome.

Understanding Indecent Exposure Charges in Ventura County
