US: Man Facing Indecent Exposure Charges After Brewing Coffee Naked In His Own Kitchen | World News | Sky News

This would just be crazy if this guy got sent down!!! I would be asking what the woman was doing walking around a 5.30 in the morning!!!

What possessed that stupid f***ing cow to call the police in the first place. They should lock her up for wasting police time and being a c***.

Believe it or not that does happen in this country. About 2 years ago someone attempted to get my girlfriend's brother done for a similar thing. Basically he emerged out of the shower and walked into his bedroom at the front of the house (with the curtains open) and his towel momentarily dropped. Unfortunately, it would seem at that exact moment a woman and her daughter were walking past outside and just happened to be staring in at the house... so he got a visit from the police. The law is the same here as in the US, however, that it needs to be deliberate exposure, so they were easily placated. Just proves how ridiculous some people are, doesn't it?!

I believe some states (and possibly here too) take the view that if it is visible with the naked eye it is public domain. i.e. If you can see through someone's window (I'm guessing from off their property, not so obvious like going into their garden and pressinig your face against the glass) you can take pictures through it too. So, I guess if you can see him standing naked it's legally the same as him standing in the street.

Common sense would say otherwise, though.

Man Arrested For Being Naked In Own Kitchen
9:22am UK, Thursday October 22, 2009

An American man who brewed coffee naked in his own kitchen is facing indecent exposure charges and could be jailed.

Eric Williamson, 29, from Virginia, insists he has done nothing wrong and any exposure of his private parts was purely accidental.

Williamson was making coffee in the buff at 5.30am when a woman and her seven-year-old son walked past his kitchen window in Springfield.

The woman then called the police.

Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said the woman claimed Williamson then moved and exposed himself again through a large front window.

In his defence, Williamson said: "I'm by myself. So I come down here - the roommates are gone, and it's my house.

"I never had a conversation with anyone, never saw anyone. Didn't cross my mind, came and got coffee. I mean if I stood and seemed comfortable in my kitchen possibly it's natural. It's my kitchen."

Williamson, who is the father of a five-year-old girl, continued: "I am a loving dad. Any of my friends... and anyone knows that.

"And there is not a chance on this planet that I would ever, ever do anything like that to a kid."

Trial lawyer Dickson Young, who is not connected with the case, explained that "in order for it to be a crime, they have to prove - the state and police - have to prove that he knew those people were there when he was standing there.

"The statute requires an intentional display of your private parts. So if you are occasionally displaying them, accidentally displaying them, inadvertently displaying them it's not a crime."

Ms Jennings said the police would not pursue a case based on inadvertent exposure. The charge is a misdemeanour punishable by up to a year in jail.

Years ago on holiday in Florida when the kids were 'little', my 18 month old was playing near the beach in the nud when a local walked up to me and said my nipper would have to put something on as "we don't do that sort of thing over here...." WTF

Oh so you can shoot people 24/7, can get drugs when and wherever you want and can have the capitol of the porn world, but an 18 month old toddler in the nud isn't allowed
