Publically exposing the genitals, buttocks, or (if female) breasts is highly illegal in any context, and can lead to extremely serious criminal punishment. While many indecent exposure cases involve misguided, but not intentionally malicious, actions, the penalties for anyone conviction can be very serious, regardless of whether or not the alleged offender knew anyone was around to witness the offense, or whether the exposure was meant as a joke. Similarly, sexual fondling or other lewd acts can lead to criminal conviction and harsh penalties under Detroit sex crime law.

According to the text of the relevant law, no person shall knowingly make any open or indecent exposure of his or her person, or the person of another. Though this is a serious enough offense on its own, fondling of the genitals, buttocks, breasts, or other sexual areas can lead to even more serious criminal penalties. It is stated in the law that this does not apply to breastfeeding mothers, regardless of how much of the breast may be exposed during or incidental to the breastfeeding of a child or breast milk pumping.
