According to Indiana state law, if a man is visibly sexually aroused in a public place, he is in violation of the Indecent Acts and Prostitution code of conduct. \nIn one of the various definitions the state supplies for the term "nudity," if a man's genitals are covered but in a "discernibly turgid state," he could be penalized with Class D felony charges. The law continues that if his "turgid state" is intended to arouse the sexual desires of another person in a public place where a child less than the age of 16 is present, he is an offender. Class D felony sentences range from one-half to three years in prison with up to a $10,000 fine. The law does not, however, state how Indiana determines whether the "turgid state" was intended to arouse another person. \n(Indiana Criminal Code 2005)
