indecent exposure

Indecent exposure refers to the act of intentionally displaying one's unclothed genitals or private areas in a public place where others can see. This behavior is generally considered offensive and inappropriate, as it can cause distress or alarm to those who witness it. Laws concerning indecent exposure vary by location, but it is typically classified as a misdemeanor, reflecting societal norms about modesty and public decency. The intent behind the act is important; it must be deliberate rather than unintentional in order to be considered a criminal offense.
