Del. P.J.I. Crim. No. 11.765(b)
Indecent Exposure in the First Degree
INDECENT EXPOSURE IN THE FIRST DEGREE
In order to find Defendant guilty of Indecent Exposure in the First Degree,
you must find the State has proved the following two (2) elements beyond a
reasonable doubt:
(1) Defendant exposed her genitals, breast, or buttocks to a person, who
was less than 16 years of age at the time; and
(2) Defendant knew or was aware her conduct was likely to cause the
person affront or alarm.
It is no defense to the charge of Indecent Exposure that Defendant did not
know the person’s age at the time of the indecent exposure, or reasonably believed
the person had reached their sixteenth (16) birthday or was not younger than
sixteen (16) at the time of the indecent exposure.
“Knowingly” means Defendant was aware of the nature of the
conduct and it was practically certain the conduct would cause the person affront
or alarm.
