If you’re caught by the police engaging in a sexual act in a public place, it’s likely that you will be charged with Public Lewdness. Public Lewdness differentiates itself from other “exposure” crimes like Indecent Exposure in that it requires sexual conduct or action on the part of the Defendant.
Despite the fact that “Public” is in the name of the offense, you can be charged with Public Lewdness even if you are on private property. The key issue is whether or not the act by the defendant can be seen by a member of the public. So, even if you are in the confines of your own property, if a sexual action can be seen by a member of the public who is rightfully in a public place, it’s possible you can be charged and arrested.
