People who expose or exhibit their sexual organs in public places or private premises of other parties can face criminal charges. The offense commonly known as indecent exposure can result in possible imprisonment and fines, but a conviction can also cause several additional difficulties in regards to employment, professional licensing, or other considerations.
While these charges can possibly arise from situations that may have been intended to be attempts at humor, the consequences are quite serious. Indecent exposure is classified under Lewdness in the Florida Statutes and it is considered a sex crime in the Sunshine State.
