What is Indecent Exposure?

Indecent exposure is the act of exposing one's private parts in public with the intent to alarm or offend others. In Oregon, this offense is taken seriously and is considered a criminal act. Understanding the nuances of what constitutes indecent exposure is crucial in building a solid defense against such charges.

Indecent exposure may involve actions such as flashing, public urination, or engaging in sexual acts in a public place. The key element is the willful and intentional exposure of private parts in a manner that is likely to cause distress, discomfort, or offense to others who witness the act.

What are the Penalties for Indecent Exposure in Oregon?

The penalties for indecent exposure in Oregon can be severe and may include criminal charges, fines, and potential jail time. The severity of the consequences often depends on factors such as the nature of the act, any prior criminal record, and whether the act involved minors.

In Oregon, indecent exposure is classified as a Class A misdemeanor. A conviction may result in penalties such as fines, probation, and mandatory counseling. Additionally, individuals convicted of indecent exposure may be mandated to register as sex offenders, which can have lasting implications on various aspects of their lives.

Defenses Against Indecent Exposure Charges

Successfully defending against indecent exposure charges requires a nuanced understanding of the law and a strategic approach tailored to the specific circumstances of each case. Some common defenses against indecent exposure charges may include:

  • Lack of Intent: If the exposure was accidental or lacked the intent to offend or alarm others, it may be a viable defense.
  • False Accusations: In some instances, individuals may be wrongly accused of indecent exposure. We can diligently investigate the facts to establish the truth and refute false allegations.
  • Violation of Rights: We can examine whether law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the arrest or investigation, which could lead to the exclusion of evidence.
  • Mental Health Issues: If the accused suffers from mental health issues that may have contributed to the behavior, we may explore avenues for treatment rather than punitive measures.

    - Jonathan
    "Robert Cleland is honest, respectable, and sincere."
    Though my case never ending up going to court and Robert did not end up having to represent me (my ex wife dropped charges) he had taken time out of his busy schedule to meet with me and discuss what my possible options were. Being not very knowledgeable when pertaining to child custody issues I really had no idea of what to do or who to talk to in order to resolve my dilemma as quickly as possible. Though after contacting him and finding out that he does not do child custody/ divorce matters he still offered to sit down with me and hear what I had to say. Robert listened to my situation, I explained how my ex wanted sole custody of my daughter and that I had just been served with papers. He recommend me to two different people he personally sought fit to best to represent me based on the information we had discussed. One Robert explained was quite a bit more expensive than the other but had over ten years of experience and the other though still very competent and professional charged less but had slightly less experience. Robert Cleland is honest, respectable, and sincere. I know that if I have any criminal defense, will, or personal injury related matters I know who to contact.
