Examples of Indecent Exposure
Indecent Exposure is charged whenever a person exposes their genitals with the purpose of satisfying or arousing sexual desire, or commits an act (or simulated act) of masturbation in a public place. This offense is often charged in public, or in adult theaters in Denver, Aurora, and Centennial. This offense can also be charged when a person exposes themselves for the purpose of arousing or satisfying their sexual desire. Let's say a couple go out on a date. They drink a bit too much, and the guy decides to take it to the next level, so he exposes himself. His date is shocked, so she calls the police. He could be charged with the crime of Indecent Exposure in Jefferson, Douglas, or Arapahoe County.
A Serious Consequence: Sex Offender Registration
If someone is convicted of the crime of Indecent Exposure, they will be required to register as a sex offender in the jurisdiction where they live. The sex offender label is damaging to a person's life. A registered sex offender can have a difficult time finding a job, and will have a hard time finding housing. Some cities (such as Englewood), had laws which basically banned sex offenders from living within their limits (the Supreme Court ruled this unconstitutional, but the city plans to appeal the decision). A registered sex offender will find many of his rights are taken away. Don't let a bad decision ruin your future – work with an experienced criminal lawyer who can fight to protect your rights.

If you have been accused of Indecent Exposure, don't plead guilty to avoid jail time. District Attorneys and the police often overcharge crimes in order to scare people into accepting plea deals. The crime of Indecent Exposure is similar to Public Indecency – C.R.S. 18-7-301, but Public Indecency doesn't require sex offender registration for a first-time conviction.
