State v. Lowery
Supreme Court of North Carolina
1Per curiam
Defendant’s principal contention is that the court should have granted his motion for nonsuit at the conclusion of the State’s evidence, principally on the ground that this was not a public place.
Intentional exposure of private parts while sitting in an. automobile on a public street in such manner that they could be seen by members of the passing public using the street, and were seen by a passerby, constitutes the common law offence of indecent exposure. Noblett v. Commonwealth, 194 Va. 241, 72 S.E. 2d 241; State v. Edwards, 233 N.C. 492, 64 S.E. 2d 421.
