• Willfully and lewdly (indecently or offensively) exposing one’s body or private ports
• Getting another to exposure his or her private parts
• Engaging in any other lewd or lascivious (sexual) behavior or public indecency

• Misdemeanor – The typical punishment for indecent exposure is up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
• Gross Misdemeanor – If the exposure was in front of a child under 16 or the defendant was previously convicted of indecent exposure or criminal sexual conduct in the 1st-5th degree (rape or sexual assault), then the punishment is increased to up to 1 year imprisonment and up to a $3,000 fine.
• Felony – If the defendant exposed his or her privates to a child under 16 after already having a conviction of that same type of indecent exposure, including masturbating in front of a child, it’s felony indecent exposure. The penalty is also increased to a felony for intentionally confining or restricting the freedom to move (AKA false imprisonment) of the victim. Felony indecent exposure is subject to 5 years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000

In addition, the court will order an assessment of the defendant to determine if sex offender treatment is necessary before sentencing.

If you're convicted of felony-level indecent exposure, you will be required to register as a sex offender in Minnesota. As you can imagine, this will greatly impact your life, including where you can work or live.
