Exposure of Sexual Organs
A Common Sex Offense
Exposure of Sexual Organs is probably the most common of all sex offenses. Like many other sex offenses exposure carries a certain amount of social stigma. However, the sensitive nature of this offense does not mean that the prosecution has any less of an obligation to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt. Like any other prosecution numerous issues could present proof problems for the State Attorney.
Now let’s clarify how Florida Law specifically defines this sex offense; that statute is found under 800.03 and sentences for this charge are found in s.775
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.
