A tampa criminal lawyer answers for incident exposure charges
If you have recently been arrested for “indecent exposure” / Exposure of Sex Organs in Tampa, the experience can be both frightening and embarrassing.
How could someone accidently expose him or herself?
An accidently public exposure of someone’s sex organs could happen a number of ways. In Florida, you can be arrested and charged with indecent exposure / exposure of sex organs if you: expose yourself to a minor, appear naked in public, expose yourself via a webcam, Internet chat room, etc., masturbate in public, or touch your genitals in a vulgar or offensive way causing others to feel uncomfortable or alarmed.
What does florida law say about an exposure charge?
Now let’s clarify how Florida Law specifically defines this offense. According to section 800.03 of the Florida Statutes: “It is unlawful to expose or exhibit one’s sexual organs in public or on the private premises of another, or so near thereto as to be seen from such private premises, in a vulgar or indecent manner, or to be naked in public except in any place provided or set apart for that purpose. Violation of this section is a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. A mother's breastfeeding of her baby does not under any circumstance violate this section.”
