Lewd Sexual Display in a Penal Institution: 2024 Report
In 2024, the Illinois legislature created the offense of "lewd sexual display in a penal institution," 720 ILCS 5/11-9.2-1. A person who is incarcerated commits this offense when they knowingly expose their genitals to individuals for the purpose of harassment or intimidation. The first time a person is found guilty of this offense, it is a Class A misdemeanor, while every subsequent violation is considered a Class 4 felony. Individuals charged with this offense are eligible for an evaluation for a mental health court program. The new legislation also required the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority to compile information on any charges, referrals, and demographic information related to this offense from Illinois penal institutions and State's Attorney offices. This is the first annual report.
