The bill introduces a new crime titled "indecent exposure to a child out of public view," which is defined as a person aged eighteen or older knowingly and intentionally exposing their primary genital area to a child in a lewd manner while in a nonpublic place. The bill specifies that a "child" is anyone under eighteen years of age, and it outlines the specific body parts that constitute the "primary genital area."
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 they occurred or whether the statute of limitations has expired. This new legal framework aims to strengthen protections for children against sexual offenses.
