Indecent Exposure Penalties in Nevada
Every case is different, but in Las Vegas, the majority of indecent exposure arrests often involve:
- Partiers
- Club patrons
- Patrons of adult bookstores
- Individuals who hook up in bathrooms or at parties
The Nevada Revised Statutes §201.220 outlines the penalties for indecent exposure, which categorizes the crime as a gross misdemeanor. The Revised Statutes consider indecent exposure to be “open and indecent or obscene exposure of oneself or of another person.” It is also often considered a sex crime.
This charge can often be combined with lewd conduct, which can increase the penalties significantly. As a result, a conviction for indecent exposure may lead to up to one year in county jail (this jail time could be doubled if you are also found guilty of lewd conduct).
Upon a second offense, indecent exposure becomes a category D felony punishable by up to four years in prison. However, the worst consequence of an indecent exposure conviction is that it becomes part of a criminal record.
