1 Answer from Attorneys
Sentences for Indecent Exposure carry a maximum penalty of 2 years� imprisonment.
The court will generally commission a Pre-Sentence Report, before sentence is imposed to help determine the most appropriate disposal.
If dealt with in the magistrates court the for a repeat offender, the starting point is 12 weeks immediate custody, with a range of sentences of between 4-to-26 weeks custody. Otherwise, for a first time offender, in the absence of aggravating or mitigating factors in the offence or offender then the appropriate sentence is a community order of some type. Examples of possible aggravating factors include threats to prevent the victim reporting an offence; or, intimidating behaviour/threats of violence ; or where the victim is a child
