N.Y. Penal Law § 245.02: Promoting the exposure of a person

§ 245.02 Promoting the exposure of a person.

A person is guilty of promoting the exposure of a person when he

knowingly conducts, maintains, owns, manages, operates or furnishes any

public premise or place where a person in a public place appears in such

a manner that the private or intimate parts of his body are unclothed or

exposed. For purposes of this section, the private or intimate parts of

a female person shall include that portion of the breast which is below

the top of the areola. This section shall not apply to the breastfeeding

of infants or to any person entertaining or performing in a play,

exhibition, show or entertainment.

Promoting the exposure of a person is a violation.

Nothing in this section shall prevent the adoption by a city, town or

village of a local law prohibiting the exposure of a person

substantially as herein defined in a public place, at any time, whether

or not such person is entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition,

show or entertainment.
