What Is Indecent Exposure?
California Penal Code Section 314 defines indecent exposure as the willful exposure of genitals in a public space where another may be offended or annoyed. The seriousness of the charge can vary, depending on factors such as the location of the alleged incident or the presence of minors.
A conviction for indecent exposure carries significant consequences, including fines, jail time, and mandatory sex offender registration. Understanding the details of this law is crucial to constructing an effective defense. Humphrey & Thompson has the knowledge necessary to address these challenges and provide clear legal guidance.
Penalties for Indecent Exposure in Bakersfield
Under California Penal Code 314, a first-time offense of indecent exposure is a misdemeanor. Penalties can include up to six months in county jail and a maximum fine of $1,000. Repeat offenses, incidents occurring near sensitive locations, such as schools or parks, or those involving minors, could lead to felony charges. Felony convictions carry potential state prison sentences and $10,000 in fines.
Additionally, convictions may require sex offender registration under Penal Code 290. This obligation brings ongoing requirements, such as reporting address changes, and can have broader implications for employment, housing, and personal relationships. Humphrey & Thompson provides a comprehensive defense that addresses these multifaceted consequences.

I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Kyle Humphrey at Humphrey & Thompson for his help with an unexpected case. He was highly thorough and made sure I understood every part of the process, which was especially important as this was my first and only legal matter. Many thanks to you and your team!

Due to the distance away from the Bakersfield area I was able to deal with the firm by phone and email. Phone service was very timely and they made me feel comfortable. If needed, I would use their services again and recommend this law office.

My husband hired Jared Thompson to defend him against bogus charges. Their price was affordable and well worth the work they put in. Even though the DA's office was not helpful and kept delaying the case over and over, Mr. Thompson and his team never gave up. It was finally dismissed and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. the Martinez Lugo family we loved them we really recommended thanks so much :)

His experience and knowing what to do helped and he has wisdom in sharing and saying the right thing to calm you in whatever you are going through. At times I was talked to as if I knew the law but when questioned what he was talking about he would take the time to explain. He is a very busy man so it seemed like he was hurried but would come back to explain. Happy with the outcome and glad that we were able to find a great attorney.
