Public indecency, also known as indecent exposure, is one of the most commonly charged sex crimes in the nation. While this type of offense is not as serious as other sex crimes, you must register as a sex offender if found guilty. Being classified as a sex offender can make it difficult to obtain employment, as well as rent or purchase a home.
