Indecent Exposure

Indecent Exposure Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles

If you are arrested for indecent exposure, public indecency or a public sex act, you should not admit to anything before you have spoken with a knowledgeable attorney. Nor should you plead guilty thinking that you can put the event behind you and move on.

Attorney Jonathan Franklin understands your distress in this situation. Our firm, the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, will provide a resolute defense designed to resolve the matter in the most efficient manner possible.

California's Definition of Indecent Exposure

In California, indecent exposure is defined as the act of publicly exhibiting one's genitalia to one or more persons, usually with the intent to shock or disturb the unsuspecting viewer.

Resolving the Problem

The best outcome is a dismissal of the charge. There may be various legal grounds on which a dismissal can be achieved, and Mr. Franklin will explore all of these possibilities. Depending on your circumstances, it may also be possible to negotiate a reduced charge which does not carry the same social stigma as an indecent exposure charge, such as a charge of disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct.

A man who has been arrested for these charges can quite naturally feel a sense of violation and injustice. But the societal and political issues raised by your arrest must be resolved in a different place, at a different time. You need to focus on the immediate effect that the charge has on your life. The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will work to deal effectively with the problem and to achieve the most positive outcome possible in your situation.
