During fiscal year 2002-2003, there were 236 convictions of indecent exposure, it is not known how many of these involved a person under the age of 18.

If a person was convicted of this offense, it can be estimated that the sentence would be served at a regional jail at a cost of $27.31 per day. The cost per inmate per year would be approximately $10,000.
