An American man who made coffee in his own home while nude is facing charges of indecent exposure.

Eric Williamson, from Springfield, Virginia, was brewing coffee in his kitchen when a woman and a seven-year-old boy walked past the window and saw him.

The woman complained to police who arrested Williamson shortly after the incident on Monday morning.

Williamson, 29, insisted he did nothing wrong and that any exposure of his private parts were accidental.

"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," he said. Williamson, who has a five-year-old daughter, added: "I am a loving dad. Any of my friends and anyone knows that and there is not a chance on this planet I would ever, ever, ever do anything like that to a kid.

"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 com

They should be arrested as peeping toms. ;-)

[SoldierDad]

What a dunce.

I believe the lady that reported it is the police chiefs wife.

[TaraP]

Sounds like a case of the Peeping Tom in reverse...

[nuconvert]

umm...get a curtain

[rightwingcrazy]

You’d think she’d be arrested for violating the man’s privacy.

[Revolting cat!]

Put him in a Swiss jail with Roman!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

They couldn't see him until they climbed on his fence!/S

[SatinDoll]

Doesn’t this man’s house have drapes or some kind of window covering?

I didn’t use anything on my windows in the kitchen, dining room or living room - only in the bedrooms and baths. But I sure put on clothes or wore a robe when going out to the kitchen!

[omega4179]

Thats legal in most areas, suprised the cops even arrested him.

[EBH]

because officers believed he wanted to be seen naked by the public.

He was in his own home. What was she doing peeking in windows at that hour anyway, forget that hour...anytime!

NOSEY NEIGHBOR

[mnehring]

Sounds like they arrested the wrong person. What were the woman and son doing on his property peering in his windows?

[AlexW]

“What a dunce.”

Yes, the snooty peeping Tom woman should have been arrested.

The cat just woke me up and I am sitting at my computer, naked. (5:30AM)

Will Jim ban me from FR? Ohhh..I better go back to bed.

[Revolting cat!]

He was arrested on a thread yesterday. Arrested again?

[mnehring]

eeeek! A Penis!

[skeeter]

Switch genders and that very well would’ve happened.

[Yaelle]

What about shower windows? If someone peered in, could we be arrested for showering nude?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Doesn’t seem like a crime. There should be no arrest.

[dogcaller]

Serious matter here in Virginia...if convicted he will wind up on the State Police sex offender website and have to report his address and employment whenever it changes.

Are you sitting at your computer (naked) in front of a window with the shades (curtains - whatever) open??? If I stood naked in front of my living room window with the curtains open in my neighborhood I’d expect a knock on the door from police too. Again - what a dunce.

[TheRightGuy]

i wonder if he grinds his own beans

[nmh]

Ah, FOX news reported that he moved from window and exposed himslef and he KNEW they were watching him.

Virginia Man Charged With Indecent Exposure After Making Coffee Naked in Kitchen

...

But Fairfax County Police see it differently. Spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said the woman and her son first saw Williamson standing naked inside his doorway as they walked along a path outside his home. Police say Williamson then followed the two from inside his home and exposed himself again through a large front window.

I don’t wanna know if he made any donuts

[Allegra]

OK, maybe the guy should have curtains or something...

But maybe the nosy nieghbor should have also minded her own business as well.

[Abbeville Conservative]

I have two daughters and would never walk around in the kitchen nude. From the shower to the bedroom when I didn’t have a towel but other than that no way. Who walks around nude with kids in the house?

[wolfcreek]

She’s a prevert.

[nmh]

He’s looking for attention.

[TC Rider]

Color me guilty.

Many a morning, in the wee hours, I’m brewing a pot in my birthday suit.

i wonder if he grinds his own beans

"FRANKS AND BEANS....FRANKS AND BEANS!!"

[SoldierDad]

If no one can see you - no harm no foul.

[I see my hands]

[truthguy]

This one depends on location and position. If you can see someone clearly from the street when walking by, then the man in question is wrong. For example there's a short distance between the sidewalk/street and the house and there's a large window with a clear view.

However if someone needs to come up to your house on your property and peek in the window to see you, then they are at fault.

Regardless, the man should be given a stern lecture by the judge if the first condition is the situation but shouldn't be charged criminally if nothing else is wrong.

If it's the second case, then the woman complaining should be given a stern lecture by the judge and told to mind her own business.

Either way dismiss the case. There are too many important things for the court to do. This can be easily corrected without legal system getting involved.

[rightwingcrazy]

Maybe there’s more to the story than what is being presented here.

[EBH]

as they walked along a path outside his home.

Sidewalks in front of my house, woodland lot and park system in back. 20 ft. of window with no curtains.

[EBH]

I’d sort of agree, but the article says “path” not sidewalk.

[Since 2009-07-21]

Nothing between a cup of hot coffee and his man-berries?! That’s insane...worse than power sanding naked!

[SoothingDave]

There was a young law student named Rex,
Who had very small organs of sex.
When charged with exposure,
He said with composure:
De minimis non curat lex

[Pelagius of Asturias]

Did y’all hear about the old lady who called the cops about a naked man. She told the officer who answered the call to look out her window and he could see the naked man in his backyard. The cop looked and said that he could see nothing. The little old lady said. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that you’ll have to stand on this chair.”

[Walrus]

Um, folks ... Obama and his minions are gutting the constitution and trying to silence all critics -— and we’re worried about the Church Lady seeing a naked man???

[Fast Moving Angel]

Good one!!

[Nakota]

I hope it wasn’t a “French press” brew!

[MaxMax]

Ack, that scariest scene ever made.
