Visit the full page: https://azcriminalandfamilylaw.com/criminal-defense/public-sexual-indecency/ What You Need to Know About ARS 13-1403 According to Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) 13-1403, public sexual indecency is the act of knowingly and intentionally engaging in a sex act in a public place. Such sexual acts might include masturbating, intercourse between two (or more) people, making physical and oral contact with someone who is not a willing or consenting partner, or simply exposing any of the sexual or anal organs of your body. In order for a person to be convicted, the judge in the case must rule that such exposure on the part of the defendant was “reckless” according to ARS 13-1403. Beyond this, if the person or persons are found to be of sound mind, and the person(s) who witnessed the event(s) against their will were traumatized, offended, alarmed, or found the behavior of the defendant(s) to generally be reckless and careless, the courts are somewhat powerless to protect those that the prosecution finds guilty of indecent exposure.
