Indecent Acts

While there is generally no physical harm done to the defined victims in these cases, the laws and punishments available to judges and juries throughout Oklahoma are quite harsh, and most carry significant prison terms if a defendant is convicted. Charges under this realm can include indecent exposure, stalking or terrorist threats.
