    well like the other 48 states they have a problem with mere nudity, they definately need to stop calling it the show me state.

    Although very general and bound to interpertation the
    statutes mainly deal with sexuality. The entire with one exception in Chapter
    599.093 is directly related to sexuality and its relation to being in public. The
    exception is (1) which an obvious loophole can be exploited, the exposer has to
    have the knowledge that it would likely cause affront or alarm. This would be
    the prosecutors responsibility to proove intent and what the exposer knew and
    did know about the viewer. This usually comes down to he/she said he/she said
    scenerio. In most states this would be referred to as indecent exposure but in
    the same write who is to say it was indecent if the exposer was not performing
    any sexual activity and had no intent to affront, cause alarm or incite.
    With regards to Chapter 589, this directly and soley relates
    to those previously convicted of a sexual offense. In many factions of the law
    establishing previous crimes of similar pattern facilitates through the higher
    percentage possibility of the same criminal action being repeated. In any case
    it only relates to sexuality not nudism.
    Therefore in the state of MO it really is not illegal to be
    nude but it is illegal to be nude and crude at the same time. I am not a lawyer
    but have spoken to many officials on the subject.
