§ 50-1. Indecent exposure.

(a)

A person commits the offense of indecent exposure who, in a public place or so near thereto as to be seen from private premises, intentionally exposes his or her genitals, breasts, or buttocks to one or more persons with the reasonable expectation the acts will be viewed by another. Exposing the genitals, breasts, or buttocks shall mean displaying the pubic hair, anus, vulva, genitals or any display of the female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple and areola.

(b)

A person commits an offense of indecent exposure who, having ownership or control over a public place wherein any member of the public is invited to enter, knowingly allows indecent exposure to occur within or upon such public place.

(c)

Every person convicted of having violated this section shall suffer a monetary penalty and forfeiture of not less than $50.00 nor more than $500.00 for each violation. Each instance of indecent exposure shall be deemed a separate punishable offense.

(d)

Provided, however, that this section shall have no application within the boundaries of any incorporated municipality within the county. Provided further, that nothing in this section shall prohibit public nudity which takes place in the context of live performances with serious literary, artistic or political value.
