What is Indecent Exposure?
Indecent exposure refers to the act of intentionally exposing one's genitals, breasts, or buttocks in a public place or any location where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. This offense is rooted in societal norms and is aimed at maintaining public decency and preventing the discomfort or harm caused to others by such actions. Indecent exposure can occur in a variety of settings, from public streets to private establishments, and may involve situations where children are present, leading to even more severe legal consequences.
What are the Penalties for Indecent Exposure in Iowa?
In Iowa, the penalties for indecent exposure can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the offense and the defendant's criminal history. Indecent exposure is a very serious criminal offense that may result in:
- Significant fines
- Jail time
- A permanent criminal record
- Lasting damage to one's reputation
- Mandatory registration as a sex offender
Defenses Against Indecent Exposure Charges
Common defense strategies against indecent exposure charges may include:
- Lack of Intent: To be convicted of indecent exposure, the prosecution must prove that the act was intentional. Our skilled attorneys can investigate the circumstances surrounding your case to determine if there is evidence of mistaken identity, misunderstanding, or lack of intent.
- Privacy Violations: In certain situations, individuals may have a proper expectation of privacy, even in public spaces. If your actions were not overtly public or occurred in a place where privacy could be reasonably expected, we can work to challenge the prosecution's case.
- False Accusations: In some cases, false accusations or mistaken identifications can lead to unjust charges. We can examine the evidence and witness testimonies to uncover any inconsistencies that could help establish your innocence.
- Constitutional Violations: Law enforcement officers must adhere to strict protocols when gathering evidence and making arrests. If your constitutional rights were violated during the arrest or investigation process, we can challenge the admissibility of evidence in court.
- Mitigating Factors: If you are facing enhanced penalties due to the involvement of a minor, our attorneys can seek to mitigate the circumstances by presenting evidence that lessens the severity of the charges.

I’m very grateful as well as appreciative for you representing me.
“My name is Charles A. W. and I was represented by Andrea D. Jaeger of the law firm Keegan, Tindal, & Jaeger. And I must say that Andrea’s a very confident, charismatic woman in the courtroom. Her poise was always on point and she never wavered, any and everything that transpired in or out of the courtroom I was made aware of, promptly and professionally always. From the beginning of my indictment all the way until my sentencing, Andrea made me feel calm, comfortable, and most of all content!! Please keep up the great work, Andrea, and I’m very grateful as well as appreciative for you representing me. (Thank you very much.)”- Charles W.
