Man Arrested for Being Naked in his Own Home

Off Topic

I caught this on the news last night and figured someone would have posted about it by now, but it appears not to be the case so I am posting it now.

This story is pretty outrageous, if you ask me. The man in question went downstairs, au naturel, at 5:30 in the morning, to make coffee. Some woman, CUTTING THROUGH HIS YARD with her 7 year old son in tow, saw him through a window. She called the police, who arrested him for indecent exposure because they thought “he wanted to be seen.” The man faces up to a $2000 fine and a year in jail

There is sooo much wrong with this scenario! Either there is a lot more to the story than appears in the video, or the police are simply insane. As is the woman reporting in the first place.

Seems to me, she should be charged with trespassing and voyeurism. Yes, perhaps the guy should have drawn the blinds or put on shorts, but hey, who thinks that clearly at 5:30 in the morning, particularly before the first cup of coffee? Certainly not I…

I might be a bit biased, since I am guilty of this more often than not. I hate wearing clothes when I don’t have to. I used to live in the middle of nowhere with no close neighbors and got pretty cavalier about it. I would have a life sentence by now, if they arrested for that around here. With added time for subjecting the neighbors to the extra flab around the middle…

Is it just me? Am I just not the typical woman when it comes to finding his arrest much more offensive than the thought of him naked IN HIS VERY OWN KITCHEN IN HIS VERY OWN HOUSE???

she got lucky he wasn’t rock hard and fucking a jar of mayo.

people are dipshits. i’ll do what i want, but god forbid you do the same. cut through my yard, but if you’re looking in my windows, be prepared to see a naked man pointing a gun at your head… while holding his junk.

and people wonder why im angry.

I find it very offensive as well. Speaking as someone who walks naked around the house, I think we ought to be able to have some expectation of privacy within our own homes. How dare someone look into someone elses windows and then complain about what they see.

I don’t even think it has that much to do with the fact that he was nude. Can she not be arrested for peeping or voyeurism or something. Where can we expect privacy?

It is unconscionable.

What kind of world is this where a man can’t be naked, alone, in his own home?

I agree with everything you said.

Ridiculous. I don’t think he’ll get charged though; with the amount of publicity that this is going to draw, no judge is going to convict based on what the article detailed unless it’s the end of their career and they’re having a bad day.

What I want to know is why isn’t the woman being charged with spying/being a voyeur/trespassing? If their positions were reversed, the guy would already be sentenced. I hate society.

This is just outrageous. Who the fuck takes a 7 year old on a walk at 5:30 AM?

Five words: Bitch, get off my lawn.

Damn that’s fucked up. I love being naked at home, and only have modesty out of courtesy for others. Otherwise i wouldn’t give a fuck about being naked half the time around my dorm or otherwise.

10

that woman is an idiot. any reasonable judge will throw this out.

11

If the guy was the one passing by and the woman was inside naked he would have been arrested for voyeurism.

Double standards make me sick.

12

This is completely ridiculous… maybe he can even this out by charging them with trespassing. A year in jail! a $2000 fine! unbelievable.

13

It’s complete bullshit. I have no words to describe the stupidity of the mother and the hate I feel towards her asinine process of reasoning.

14

That is pretty messed up, if this whole thing goes through with a fine and jail time then that place is beyond fucked up, or there is more to the story.

I sure as hell hope files were charged and thats that. I’m sure if this guy took it to the news stations or the paper he could get some serious support and have that bitch ridiculed.

15

Absolutely absurd. What if Santa Claus is walking across my roof and sees me naked in my own shower? Ticket?

I’m sure these cops could have been spending their time in a much more productive fashion.

16

This is totally insane! The guy seemed pretty legit. I think it would be nice if the woman gets charged for trespassing by night.

17

This is absolutely ridiculous. They might have a case if he was outside in the yard or something. If you’re in your house you should be entitled to dress or not dress however you want. It’s your house! Things like this is what is screwing up our country. They might as well give me life in prison because I’m not going to stop walking around my house naked. If you don’t like it then stay off my lawn and stop looking through my windows. I agree with Chrysalis 100%.

Wow, maybe i should keep the curtains closed 24 hours a day. Wouldn’t want any peeping people to call the police on me. I probably won’t though. Other than that, i have nothing nice to say about that perverted woman who peeps with 7 year old children in the the middle of the night.

So where do you live exactly?

I agree that this is pretty fucked up, but nowhere in that article does it say that the woman was walking through his property…
