- **Consent**: Explicit consent from all parties is crucial. If everyone involved consented to viewing the nude photo, it may not be considered a legal issue.
- **Revenge Porn Laws**: California Penal Code *(j)(*) prohibits distributing intimate images without consent. Even if consent was given initially, sharing those images later without consent can lead to legal consequences.

If there are multiple people involved, does it make it a felony
In California, whether an act constitutes a felony or misdemeanor for indecent exposure depends on specific circumstances:
- **First Offense**: Usually a misdemeanor.
- **Multiple Victims**: Could potentially increase severity.
- **Prior Convictions**: May elevate to a felony.
For precise legal advice, consult a legal professional.
What if it is the first offense, and there were multiple people involved
In California, for a first offense of indecent exposure involving multiple people:
- **First Offense**: Typically classified as a misdemeanor.
- **Multiple Victims**: Could increase the seriousness of the charge but still often treated as a misdemeanor.
For specific legal advice, it is best to consult a legal professional.
So even if there are multiple people involved, and the severity is increased, would the statute of limitations likely still apply?
In California, the statute of limitations for a first offense of indecent exposure (Penal Code *) remains one year for misdemeanors, despite the involvement of multiple people. If the incident occurred more than a year ago, it is likely beyond the statute of limitations for prosecution.
