Can an indecent exposure charge be reduced to disorderly conduct depending on the circumstances?
I was super drunk while celebrating a new job, passed out in a park and somehow removed my pants. I wasn’t looking to get a rise out of anyone, I was just totally out of my head. I’m extremely embarrassed and ashamed and fear the stigma that goes along with indecent exposure may haunt me in terms of employment for the rest of my life. I am moving oyt of state assuming my new company doesn’t catch wind of this and pull its offer.

It is entirely possible that the indecent exposure charge that you are writing about pertaining to yourself can be reduced to a disorderly conduct charge in a possible plea bargain between you and the district attorney's office. For that possibility to have a greater likelihood, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in such an endeavor.
