gross probably means the maximum and indeceny is obscene, so like the maximum indecency

You are dealing with criminal law, which varies significantly from state to state (and statute to statute). You will need to look at the definition, which WILL be in the statute. I could be leading you astray if I told you anything else. Good luck.
