Aggressive Defense Against Sex Crime Allegations Including Indecent Exposure

What Is Indecent Exposure?

Indecent exposure, as defined by Texas Statutes, occurs when a person exposes their genitals with a disregard for whether another is present who will be offended or alarmed. Although the law may make this crime appear straightforward, it is a charge that can involve a number of variables. While some of these cases may involve more pressing concerns that insinuate predatory sexual behavior, many indecent exposure cases arise as the result of practical jokes. “Mooning,” public urination, “streaking,” and “flashing” are common acts typically intended as a joke or performed with the belief that no ill-effects would result. Unfortunately, those who commit these acts may be subjected to arrest and criminal prosecution. When handling these types of cases, we work diligently to collect and investigate all the facts surrounding the events that led up to your arrest. Depending on the facts involved in your unique case, there may be legitimate and effective defense strategies that can be implemented, including mistaken identification. Our firm understands that acts of jest hardly warrant as harsh a labeling as indecent exposure or sex crime, and we work to avoid or mitigate the charges you face. Whether the accusations you face stem from misunderstandings, jokes gone awry, or more serious allegations, the penalties involved are all too real. Fines, terms of imprisonment, and possible registration as a sex offender are consequences too severe to allow yourself to go into a case without anything other than top-quality legal representation.
