Mr D
I just did not know public indecency required complete exposure of genitals.
I was asking if that same ahole had exposed himself to the 17 yo in public could he ve arrested?
It is an intent-based offense. He clearly entered the women's area for the purpose of self-gratification.Obviously Garmel is the real authority on stuff like this, but doesn't the judge have a point here? If you can't see it, is it being exposed?
He exposed himself to gratify himself. Hence the 'any person' element would have been met. And, having previously been reported, he was beyond reckless...I completely understand, but let's suppose I'm the trial judge and dealing with the Texas indecent exposure statute. It says, "a person commits an offense if he exposes his anus or any part of his genitals with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, and he is reckless about whether another is present who will be offended or alarmed by his act."
It refers specifically to the exposure of theanus or genitals, not his hairy fat stomach. It would gross me out and I wouldn't feel good about it, but I'd have to follow the law as it's written and let the guy walk.
And on this Plainview story, people need to understand something. The fact that there was a sex act in a first grade class is disturbing. The fact that a teacher either knew about it and did nothing or was so checked out that she didn't know about it is disturbing. But those facts aren't what should really horrify people. What should really horrify people is that the school's by first instinct was to cover its ***. It wanted this kept hidden from the public.

Law professor escorted out of classroom by police. WTF!!!!
That will cost him a pharaoh amount.

No, it won't. He'll take out student loans for it all. Then he'll set up an income-driven repayment plan (that won't actually reduce the principle) for ten years while working for the university, and the loans will be forgiven under the PSLF Program.
Texas House votes to ban medical transition of children. Here's a link to the record vote. It's mostly along party lines but not entirely.
If you want to see what statesmanship looks like, this is it. A very liberal member from Houston voted with the GOP. She explains her rationale here. (Wish other members did this sort of thing.) Why is it statesman-like? Because she is risking her entire career to do the right thing. She is from a solid blue, urban district, where something like this could get her into real trouble. It will attract national, negative attention and almost guarantee her a well-funded primary opponent. Though she's an incumbent, she hasn't been there for that long, so she isn't overly entrenched. She isn't the only Democrat to vote Yes, but most of the others are from redder districts. (When the bill passed the Senate, no Democrats voted Yes.)
