California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vaughn, C086395 (Cal. App. 2019):
The defendant "does not have to act for purposes of either sexual arousal or sexual gratification." (People v. Archer (2002) 98 Cal.App.4th 402, 406.) Rather, "it is enough if the defendant exposed himself for purposes of 'sexual affront.' " (Ibid.) Such an affront exists when a defendant "intentionally exposes 'his person, or the private parts thereof' to another for the purposes of sexually insulting or offending the other person." (Ibid.)
"To determine the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction, an appellate court reviews the entire record in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether it contains evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value, from which a rational trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." (People v. Kipp (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1100, 1128.)
