If I read the California indecent exposure law correctly in the penal code it states that I must be doing so in a manner that would intentionally provoke a reaction out of someone or to do it to attempt to annoy or harass someone. I did neither! All I did was walk off the trail into some heavy bushes and with my back to the trail, I took a piss. That is all. The detective was very vague as to the plaintiff's exact words, but I think he said that she said I was showing it to her which I was not. Depending on the direction she was traveling on the trail it might have been possible for her to see me from the side or depending on how good her vision was from a distance maybe she saw the front of me giving that the trail does wrap around a lot in that area. At no time was it my intention to show myself to anyone for any purpose at all. This is also a possible case of mistaken identity as she did not ID me to police until several days later when she saw me driving in my car and followed me to get my license plate number. Then she waited another few days to report it to the police who then took about 2 weeks to contact me about it. I hope to have enough evidence to prove my case in court. I just hope I don't get thrown in jail as I am the sole income of my household and my fiance and my 2 year old son rely on my income to survive. Any more help would be appreciated.
