The proposed bill establishes a new crime of "indecent exposure to a child out of public view," which is defined as an individual aged eighteen or older intentionally exposing their primary genital area to a child in a lewd manner while in a nonpublic setting. The bill outlines specific definitions for "child" as anyone under eighteen years of age and "primary genital area" to include various anatomical terms.
The penalty for committing this offense is classified as a misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill includes a retroactive provision, meaning it applies to all past actions of indecent exposure to a child out of public view, regardless of when the exposure occurred or whether the statute of limitations has expired. This new legal framework aims to enhance protections for children against sexual offenses.
