As the crime with which you are being charged is a misdemeanor in which the maximum jail time is one year, and this is not the type of offense which can be construed to be an aggravated felony if you are sentenced to one year, you are not deportable if convicted. I further note that the offense of indecent exposure is generally not regarded as a crime involving moral turpitude.
