In some states, if the victim is a child, the offense is classified as lewd or lascivious molestation, child molestation, sexual abuse, or sexual assault.
Lewd and lascivious often carries additional charges especially if there was physical contact or inappropriate touching involved.
Lewdness, lewd and lascivious conduct, open and gross lewdness or indecent exposure are similar sex crimes that involve sexual activity or exposure with the knowledge that they are in the presence of others. Even if the sexual activity is not intentionally on display for others, for instance having sex in a car, it can still result in a criminal charge.
Indecent Exposure normally refers to the purposeful display of one’s genitals in a public place or a place of public access. Because the perpetrator is thought to commit the act for sexual gratification, this offense usually carries a sex offender registration requirement if found guilty.
