Indecent conduct is defined as the intentional exposure, in public or in view of the general public, by an individual and a portion of his/ her body which is unacceptable by moral and/or societal standards of conduct.
Examples of indecent conduct or exposure would be exposing areas such as the genitals, the buttocks, and female breasts under inappropriate, or public, circumstances-excluding a mother’s ability to breastfeed in public.
This type of behavior is often carried out with the intention of shocking or disturbing another, or to receive sexual gratification.
Indecent exposure can also include other sexual, or otherwise inappropriate acts that are done within the view of the public, such as:
- Masturbation
- Sexual intercourse
- Public nudity
- Lewd conduct
