Man Charged After Making Coffee Naked

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.
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.
Officer Bud Walker said officers also consulted the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office and they were given the green light to proceed with the charge.
Williamson, who is father of a 5-year old girl, said he feels like the victim.
"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," he said.
Williamson is meeting with a lawyer to fight the charge and may attempt to seek damages from Fairfax County Police. If convicted on the misdemeanor charge, he would face up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Are they related to the cops in Rhode Island? You know, the ones who arrested the guy for breaking into his OWN HOME?
Despite what anyone says, I do not think the world is getting better. |

Yes this is fucked up.
The woman and child were trespassing and had no business in his front yard in the 1st place.
WTF! :o/ |

Hasn't everyone seen naked people in their own homes or hotel rooms? I travel by train a lot and have passed by backyards and within spitting distance of windows to every room of an apartment. I've seen most of the behaviours and states of dress common to people in domestic life. It's not a big deal. Even if I found it troublesome, I'd hate to admit I was looking into someone's house long enough to be offended. I've been caught myself in one of those motels where you the "hallway" is outside the room and the only window opens onto that area.

And presumably the 7 year old BOY knows what a penis looks like. If not, for heaven's sake, arrest the mom!!!!
