In most places, street harassment crimes are considered more serious if anyone under the age of 18 is present to witness the action or is the target of the harassment. This especially applies to indecent exposure and groping.
If you are under the age of 18, or if someone under 18 is present at the time of an incident you experience, or if you witness someone harassing a young person or child, report that information to the police.
