There aren't any penalties for it inside your own home yet thankfully. Though the price perverts will pay when they expose themselves outside is about to jump substantially. The city council is considering making the crime constitute a year in jail, up from 90 days currently. The fine would also double from $500 to $1000.
Police are also investing more time on cracking down on subway flashers. Dubbed Operation Exposure, the cops are setting up stings down on the trains to catch more of those "exhibitionists." Five stings have already netted 29 people in the act, helping increase the total amount of arrests to 556.
There are also many accounts of guys that grope and fondle women on the subway. The problem for a long time is that most women don't talk about what happens while riding the MTA, but undercover cops are starting to make a dent in the highly indecent behavior. So all you pervs out there looking for a cheap feel, think twice when you are about to pull that cowardly and disgusting act.
