State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Eloisa Rubi Plancarte, Appellant

Summary

The court reversed Plancarte’s indecent-exposure conviction because the statute requires proof that the defendant exposed herself in a manner involving conduct of a sexual nature. The evidence showed exposure but no sexually oriented conduct, and the defendant’s statements and prior incidents did not establish that element. The court therefore did not decide whether breasts are “private parts” or whether the statute violates equal protection.
