What next..no showering nude in your own home?

[Army Wife]

I just want to know what in the world this "mom" was doing trespassing on this guys land to start with, then looking in his windows. She then had the gall to call the police to complain! I would sue not only the police dept. for false arrest but also the stupid chick who could not keep her nosy self and prying eyes out of other people's home.

Did you miss this part?

She said they first spotted Williamson naked in an open door in the car port of his home

If thats true then he was exposing himself to the outside world for anyone passing by to see.

Maybe Williamson is telling the truth but its also guaranteed that what he's saying now is also exactly what he would be saying if he purposely exposed himself.

Man Charged After Making Coffee Naked
FOX 5 Exclusive

SPRINGFIELD, Va. - A Springfield, Virginia man is facing an indecent exposure charge after a passerby spotted the man naked in his kitchen and reported it to police.

Eric Williamson, 29, is a commercial diver who grew up in Hawaii and rents home with several co-workers. Williamson told FOX 5's Will Thomas his roommates were not home and he walked into the kitchen to make coffee about 5:30 a.m. Monday.

"Yes, I wasn't wearing any clothes but I was alone, in my own home and just got out of bed. It was dark and I had no idea anyone was outside looking in at me," Williamson said.

Guess it's okay to trespass though. :cool:

[AugustGem]

If he was at the door, he may not have much to stand on. But what about her being on his property?
Times have changed! If I tresspassed on someones property and saw something I shouldn't have, I would have kept on going and avoided walking on the property in the future.

The other story says 8:40 am. Later in the morning makes more sense to be walking a child to school but isn't it bright outside? I would think you would have to look hard to see into a persons house during the day.

That's really early to be walking a child to the bus stop.

But it goes on to say...

The complaint came from an unidentified woman who was walking with a 7-year-old boy. A Fairfax County Police spokesman said officers arrested Williamson for indecent exposure because they believe he wanted to be seen naked by the public.

You could easily see into a light home at 5:30 in the morning. It just sounds awfully early to be walking with a child anywhere much less a school bus stop.

That's what I was thinking. At 5:30 am it would be dark outside and easy to see in. But the first link (in the OP) said 8:40 am which seemed too bright outside to see in someones house.

It made me chuckle.... some men will just stroll around the house in all their glory. I have to cover up to answer the phone :redface: LOL

[traditional_woman]

Dang, was his junk that scary?:razz:

I don't know, I find it hard to believe some mom would go out of her way to make up a story. She could also just be over-reacting. Unless he was acting creepy and touching himself she should have just kept moving and thought nothing of it. It was a son she was walking to school, not a daughter, which would have made things a bit more uncomfortable b/c of the different parts.

In the video I saw on this they said it was dark out when the woman and child walked by the man's house. If you look at the part when he's in kitchen talking, the kitchen curtains are open. Seems that he was walking around th ehouse nude, with lights on and curtains open... when it was dark out.

Personally I think it's pretty stupid to bring charges against him for this.. Just give him a warning to shut his curtains.

[Drawz]

Reverse the sexes and you've got charges of trespass and peeping.

[RTchoke]

The two stories are totally different (time, place, etc.). I'm sure more will come out on this. Frankly, the woman was trespassing on his property. Why the hell wasn't SHE arrested for being a peeping tom? :razz:

[traditional_woman]

Not really. A peeping tom has never called the police to get his victim(for lack of a better word) in trouble for showing too much.

It's good to see your name come up on screen August. I hope all is well with you.

Hypotheticaly. Let's say this guy had noticed this woman walking across his lawn and looking through his window into the kitchen while he's doing his naked coffee thing. And he called the police and they find her before she has a chance to call them herself. Odds of her being charged? Slim, IMO.

Hello AW,

Back in the seventies I was a cop in a small town in Jersey very close to the Garden State Parkway. There was a traffic circle which routed entrance and exit ramps in addition to several roads re-routed by the circle.

I was the Desk Officer on a particular evening when I received a call from a distraught female driver calling from home in the next town over.

She complained of and described a naked young man standing in the doorway of his home facing the circle. I recognized the fellow from her description. (The platinum blond hair he had made that part easy)

Her ability to give an eye-witness account was astounding in its detail. When I asked her if she was stopped in traffic; she answered no. When I asked her how she knew such great detail in her descriptions: She replied; I drove around that circle three times just to make sure I got the details right.

I dispatched a Car to the Address I believed was the object of the complaint. An hour or so later the Boy and his Father came into HQ at my request. The report was indeed correct. The boy had come out of the shower and walked by the door naked. A moment later the boy told me a car pulled up on the circle shoulder and a 'Lady Driver' began beeping her horn. He also told me he had a towel wrapped around his torso by this time. (Confirmed by the driver) The driver would only stop beeping if he dropped the towel and he didn't want her to wake his Father. (He worked night shift) He confirmed that she drove around the circle 3 times, stopping and beeping on each occasion. The Boy's Father gave him a tongue lashing and I'm not sure I can or want to remember if he also smacked him in the head.

No one was arrested. It was either charge the boy with Indecent Exposure or the Driver with being a peeping Tomasina. Charging them both was also an option. When this was pointed out to the Father and the Driver; they both withdrew their indignant complaints.

I still get a laugh out of that situation. It wasn't a big deal back then and PO's were given a whole lot more discretion during those times. Today; the kid or the driver would probably be arrested, convicted and branded as a sex offender(s).

It will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out in Court.

Be well,

Jim

PS: Many years later this grown up 'Boy' and I had a discussion about the incident. The driver he told me; was the Mother of a girl he was seeing and broke up with shortly before the time of the incident. (The Boy was 16 at the time) I'm just thankful we didn't charge anyone. There was enough hormonic stupidity and guilt to go around that traffic circle 1000 times over without ever blowing one's car horn. I'm not sure I believe either account to this day.

[RogerDodger]

Just give him a warning to shut his curtains.

Why should he have to shut his curtains? She shouldn't be looking in other people's windows.

[AvgGuyIA]

If I was on the jury, I would find the man innocent. Hell...people sleep nude and it's reasonable to walk around the house naked. A man's home is his castle. If he was standing in front of the window grinning, that would be one thing; he was pouring himself a cup of coffee, which is pretty much normal activity to do - nude or otherwise.

[jeepers]

Is his window right on the street?

Why would she even be looking in, unless he's at street level, near the sidewalk and near the window?

Something doesn't sound right about this story. I'm sure that there is more to it.

Oh yeah, there is....................:))

Williamson is an underwater construction diver. The company he worked for rents the house for its employees, but one of Williamson's roommates said the company fired Williamson for missing work Friday.

Williamson was acting strange Monday morning, the roommate said.

"We wake up to Eric running around the house with nothing but a work hardhat on, butt naked," the roommate said.

Don't look Ethyl!! :))

Why should he have to shut his curtains? She shouldn't be looking in other people's windows.

It depends on what is outside the window. For example I can stand on the sidewalk outside my house and see into many of my neighbors' windows. If they have the light on at night I can see very clearly what goes on in the house. If a person knows that their the interior of theri house is clearly visible from the street than they should close the drapes.

No one can see into the windows of my house because of the way it its on the lot. So I don't have to close my drapes.

It all depends on what can be seen from points off the man's property.

If I had a neighbor who walked about the house naked all the time and they could be seen from the sidewalk... I'd speak to them about closing their drapes. If they did not do this, I'd call the police. We have a dozen or so children in the neighborhood who play up and down the street all the time. It would be inappropriate.

From the article:

""She says she heard a noise, looked over and saw a naked man standing in the open doorway, that carport doorway, and that she quickly got on the sidewalk and started to pass by the house and once again saw the same naked man in one of the front windows," police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said."

So apparently he could be seen from the sidewalk, inthe buff through a window with the drapes open.

You probably say that about all the guys who stand around butt naked wearing nothing but a hard hat. :shifty:

I left the windows open for a while. Then I got tired of all the people showing up with cameras trying to get a shot of Bigfoot!

Children should be taught not to look in neighbors' windows.

If he was in his yard or in the street, then obviously I would agree with you. But in his own house, he should be able to walk around as naked as he wants.

Walk naked ...front curtains should be closed if that's your choice ...you would think modesty would require but I guess not in todays world.

We never close our rear drapes ...
When they were going to build a house behind us I went over to ask the builder if it was going to be a two story ...she said no ...would you like us to angle this way or that way?

I was amazed ...I said I didn't care just wanted to know if I had to buy new drapes for the back of the house ...11 years later still don't close the drapes.

[MasterBlaster]

The guy should have shown better judgement.

The woman should mind her own business.

Everybody go home now! No charges, just don't let it happen again.

I did read one news story that the PD is asking around to see if this is a recurring thing. I hope they find the truth and deal with it accordingly.

[sironin]

Does this mean I can't answer the door naked without getting prosecuted?

[Apatriot]

That's what I was thinking. At 5:30 am it would be dark outside and easy to see in. But the first link (in the OP) said 8:40 am which seemed too bright outside to see in someones house.

I will admit, if there were no kids in the house, I'd do the same. That said, I don't like people seeing me when I'm home, so I usually have the front blinds closed, unless I'm waiting on somebody or just want to see outside.

[wayoverthehill]

For 20 years I lived in the country on 20 acres. Our house didn't even HAVE drapes or curtains. Anyone who could see in the windows would most definitely have to be trespassing. Many is the time hubby would hear some noise outside in the woods and go out to check without stopping to dress.

He always put on a hat though. And shoes.

And grabbed his 45 or shotgun.

I always joked that anyone who went to that much trouble to climb over a locked gate and walk half a mile in complete darkness to get to our house was entitled to a reward "peek".

[Army Wife]

Sorry gotta keep this short (I jacked up my elbow and am typing one handed) just wanted to let you know that I'll try and answer everyone this weekend got in late from the "horsespittle" & gotta be up a 3am.

[JediMindTrick]

This is the key. There are many people who get their kicks exposing themselves to others and many do it by "accidentally" standing in their doorway so the world can see. They all claim it was an accident when confronted but it usually isn't. I don't know which way it is in the case of the guy in this story but as I said before what he is claiming is the exact same thing he would be claiming if he did in fact purposely expose himself.

[notluzn]

I guess I won't ride my bike naked anymore. Wait!! Haha haha Tricked again HAHA

[traditional_woman]

My hub is the anal one when it comes to open blinds. As soon as the sun starts going down, he's closing the blinds. He doesn't even like them open on a cloudy day, b/c he thinks ppl can see in. The only time i care is when it's pitch dark, and i look like i'm getting ready for bed.

Brilliant! Reading your post I got an image of a guy charging out of his house, butt-naked but for a .45, a pork pie hat and a pair of black and white wing tip's!

If I ever write a book or make a movie, that's going in!


ETA: Although, since you mentioned the country, maybe I should be picturing a green John Deere ball-cap, a muddy pair of Timberlands and a shotgun? ;)

[Nevarwinter]

They just don't know commercial divers.

As a former diver, I can tell you that it is extremely easy to get naked anywhere, because often, you have to. When you come up from a long dive and have to hop in the chamber, you have to strip down in case there are contaminants in your wetsuit that could start a fire. If you're bashful, this isn't the job for you.

I once had to strip down in Armstrong park on the river front in new orleans with about a million tourists watching me. It was right after the Brightfield incident. I was going standby but had to be fully dressed and ready to go. After something like that, you just don't care.

[jeepers]

Or birthing women. :lol:

Something about giving birth in front of a team of people that makes ya go 'what the hey!'

And I'll bet that all the childrens' heads exploded simultaneously when you dropped trow, right? :lol:

I believe that public indecency should be based on intent like many other crimes. Clearly, if this man (in the OP story) was simply walking to his fridge with no intent to sexualize his nakedness, then there is no crime, IMHO. If, however, he did this with the intent of specifically exposing himself in a sexual manner to the child and the grandmother, he should draw some disciplinary action.

Yeah, but the fact that this woman had to TRESPASS in order to see what she saw pretty much makes it entirely irrelevant to me. Don't want to see it.........STAY OFF HIS DAMN PROPERTY!
