11. It doesn't sound as if it would have been up to the judge

The article reads as if being put on the register is automatic for a conviction of indecent exposure. Given the definition of that, I'd think a judge would have to find him guilty. It would, I think, be up to the prosecutor, or the school officials, to decide if prosecution was in the public interest. And in some places, especially if the prosecutor thinks he might have a future political career, they might think 'always prosecute'.

The streaking may have been because he, correctly, thought many of his peers would think it made him a 'legend'.
