State v. Rocker
Supreme Court of Hawai’i
475 P.2d 684 (1970)
Relevant factsFree
Richard Barry Rocker and Joseph Cava (defendants) were charged with and convicted of creating a common nuisance after police received an anonymous tip that the two were sunbathing nude on a semi-isolated beach.
IssueFree
Whether, in Hawaii, sunbathing nude in violation of the state's indecent-exposure nuisance statute requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had a general intent to be naked in a public place and knew his exposed condition would likely be seen by others.
