What NJ law calls lewdness is referred to as indecent exposure in some other states. This is a type of sex crime that involves exposing oneself in public or performing lewd acts in a public place. It is a misdemeanor (disorderly person) offense and may be considered a "lesser" sex offense, but a conviction may still result in imprisonment in county jail for up to 18 months if the defendant is convicted, not to mention the burden of living with the social stigma attached with a conviction of this kind on one's record. A third or subsequent offense of this kind may also be charged as a felony punishable by up to 5 years in state prison. Sex offender registration is another penalty that may be associated with a conviction for indecent exposure.
