Indecent exposure is typically charged as a class 1 misdemeanor in Highlands Ranch. However, after two prior convictions of indecent exposure, or after a conviction of a comparable offense, a person can face class 6 felony charges. A class 1 misdemeanor can result in up to an 12 month Douglas County Jail sentence, while a class 6 felony can result in up to an 18 month Colorado Department of Corrections prison sentence. While indecent exposure charges can come with dramatic consequences, there are many defense strategies which the criminal defense lawyers at Sawyer Legal Group use in these criminal cases. Some of these defenses might be that a person’s genital exposure was not sexual, such as if they were caught streaking in public as a dare, urinating in an alley when they thought no one was around, or having a wardrobe malfunction. Another defense tactic we may use is that a person didn’t intend to expose themselves or masturbate in public. They may have been sunbathing nude in a backyard and their neighbor saw them, or they were caught having sexual intercourse in a car at a private park where they thought no one could see them. Whatever the situation is for a person’s indecent exposure charges in Highlands Ranch, the involvement of an experienced Castle Rock Indecent Exposure attorney is vital.
