Indecent Exposure Attorney – Brett Podolsky

The state of Texas identifies indecent exposure as a sexual crime with the intentional display of an individual’s genitals or buttocks to others for the sexual gratification of either party. Some people expose themselves because they hope to receive sexual pleasure from the shock or offense of a victim. A strong legal defense against a sex crime requires an experienced lawyer, like Brett Podolsky. The following are examples of behaviors that might lead to accusations of indecent exposure:

  • Showing one’s genitals to a person or group
  • Exposing one’s buttocks as a prank or sign of disrespect (commonly known as mooning)
  • Displaying a female’s breasts (the exception is breastfeeding)
  • Urinating in a public area

What may seem like a prank can lead to serious sexual criminal charges in Texas. Don’t risk ruining your life with charges of a sexual crime. Contact the Law Office of Brett A. Podolsky today for tough legal representation and defense.

Punishments for Indecent Exposure in Texas

A conviction of indecent exposure is a class B misdemeanor in the state of Texas. A person who is found guilty of committing this crime may have to serve up to 180 days in jail and pay up to $2,000 in criminal fines. Other penalties include mandatory registration as a sex offender and forced enrollment in a counseling program to prevent future sex crime incidents. People who are registered as sex offenders may find it difficult to find housing or secure gainful employment.

An indecent exposure conviction can have lifelong implications. Therefore, it is very important for a person who is accused of this crime to seek legal advice from an experienced indecent exposure attorney. Brett Podolsky is a Houston criminal defense lawyer who works hard to protect his clients’ rights.

Defending Indecent Exposure Cases

An arrest for indecent exposure does not guarantee a conviction. An indecent exposure lawyer can use several different defenses in hopes of verifying his client’s innocence. Prosecutors are required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had an intention to arouse the victim or himself in the act of indecent exposure. In many cases, defendants expose themselves by accident. On other occasions, those who are nude may not be aware that they are being watched. In either situation, the behavior is not intended to gratify or offend another person. It is not easy to prove intent for indecent exposure, so a skilled criminal defense lawyer like Brett Podolsky can mitigate the charges or get them dismissed.
