State, 118 So. 3d 988, 990 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (holding evidence that Usry intentionally exposed himself at a school bus stop supports guilty verdict on lewd and lascivious exhibition under section 800.04(7), Florida Statutes); State v. Sholl, 18 So. 3d 1158, 1161 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (holding jury could reasonably infer from Sholl's decision to expose himself during online chat to someone whom he believed to be a thirteen-year-old girl that he was intentionally acting in a lewd or lascivious manner for purposes of section 800.04(7), Florida States); see also Schmitt v. State, 590 So. 2d 404, 410 (Fla. 1991) (“Under Florida criminal law the terms ‘lewd’ and ‘lascivious’ are synonymous: Both require an intentional act of sexual indulgence or public indecency, when such act causes offense to one or more persons viewing it or otherwise intrudes upon the rights of others.”).
