Home Nudity Man Guilty of Indecent Exposure

maggie-mui-coffee-exhibitionist.jpg

A court has judged a man guilty of indecent exposure after a female passerby observed him naked in his own kitchen and complained to police.

The 29-year-old Virginia man, himself a father, was charged with indecent exposure after being spotted by a mother and her young son passing by; the details of this “crime” are presented in the previous report on the incident.

Despite his protestations that he was innocently moving about his own kitchen whilst preparing coffee, police and courts insisted he had committed an act of lewdness offensive to public decency.

The judge handling the case agreed with prosecutors that being naked in his own home was “indecent,” and rendered a guilty verdict, though he magnanimously refrained from handing down a prison sentence or taking his daughter into care. An appeal is planned.

The convicted sex criminal finally seems to realise his expectations of privacy in his own home are unreasonable:

“I feel the exact feelings that they’re speaking – I’ve put onto other people. They’re looking into my home. I live in a fishbowl, an ant farm. Everyone’s looking inside my house now. That’s ok.”

The man admitted he was foolish in not closing the curtains, but with characteristic self-preservation the judge responded “I don’t fine people for being stupid. We’d all be in jail.”

The woman who brought the charges, who is incidentally married to a local police officer, is reportedly pleased with his conviction.

    This whole thing is ridiculous. If he was the one seeing her naked from the window they would have convicted him for being a peeping tom.

    Because realistically nudity is sinful, right? Sex is a sinful act, and as such anyone and everyone who had sex regardless of reason should be punished, right? Because parents these days are so fucking stupid and complacent in raising their kids that they need the MOTHERFUCKING government to intervene and protect their kids, right?

    While I agree kids are easily impressionable, I don't fucking believe seeing a naked man aside from one's father or self to be fucking traumatizing. If our society is so goddamned hell-bent on eliminating sexuality from the youths, why the fuck don't they just ban youths from the internet? Better yet, FUCKING EDUCATE THEM. Also another FYI is that kids aren't stupid. Watching 'PORN' will not fuck up their lives anymore than their parents and society beating up on them for having a healthy sex drive.

    The funny things?
    In the "dark age" nudity was ok. Churches were full of naked statues.
    When the "dark age" finished nudity became a sin.
    It's pretty hilarious.

    They declare people must only dry hump during "sex" in addition to closing their curtains...so as to not offend the eyes of the lass gawking through your upstairs bedroom window, via a tree.

    Hitler was in the right, and he was pretty "authoritarian", so to speak. But I can't think of a right-wing leadership that was ever "non-authoritarian".

    So much for the "authoritarian" theory. It's the conservatives with their puritanical view on things and you know it. If you think people in West Virginia are inbred dumbasses, where do you think they originally came from?

    Let me guess, you're right-leaning in your politics and you're a Yank. They're the only ones I've ever seen make that mistake. They see the word socialism and it almost seems like their mind gets locked or something.

    National Socialism has about as much to do with Socialism as the following:

    - Pennsylvania Dutch and the Netherlands. These guys were Germans not Dutch, that was simply a mistranslation of the term Deutsch, which is German for.... German.

    - French Fries originating in France. They're from Belgium, and while the Walloons might act a lot like Frenchman, they're about as French as the Québécois are, or the Cajuns for that matter.

    - Equality Now and them actually being interested in Equality. All they care about is power over others, whatever the cost.

    Just because someone calls something or someone something, does not mean that they are what is claimed. Example: A member of the Washington Redskins isn't really a Native American indigenous to the area of Washington State. (Which would be Yakama, Wanapum or Colville.)

    National Socialism has more in common with Fascism than it does with regular Socialism. And Fascism is very much right wing.

    Yeah, that's why National Socialism set up socialized medicine, government-controlled and tax financed day care centers and pensions, and lots of other things right wingers are always clamoring for.

    The issue is that the judge and the police had been offended via someone who knew them. Buddy system in full effect! The verdict was hers, and hers alone. She condemned him when she looked in and found out her husband isn't the biggest around.

And i probably still can't walk naked with open windows because there other buildings facing mine. Guys from other apartments could probably see me.

    Can someone, anyone, please link me to hard evidence that seeing the human body and/or sex will do children any psychological harm?

    How is less than 1% of the human body offensive or even harmful? So what if the penis/vagina are sex organs. They aren't engaged in sex 99.9% of the time. How can something we all have, use on a daily basis, and use to have pleasure and create life be indecent or obscene?

    I agree. Also, wouldn't it be considered an invasion of privacy since the woman herself peered into HIS house? He can do whatever the hell he wants; it's HIS house. If a person can't be naked in their own home, how do you expect them to change their clothes? -__-

    It's the woman's fault for deciding to look into another's house.

    @Miroku74: Just because the Puritans were Calvinists, it doesn't mean all Calvinists are that bad - at the extreme end of Calvinism, some of us are almost anarchists.

    Anyway, for once I'm glad I live in the UK. It's a tried and tested principle of English common law that you can be naked in your own house even with the curtains open as long as it's not your deliberate intention to cause alarm and distress to passersby.

    I'm guessing he can make a counter lawsuit? once he's released or the sentence is up >_> w/e it is they gave him. certainly many lawyers would want to hop on the bandwagon of taking it to a higher court, defending the illusioned privacy of one's home.

    Funny, not to long ago there where tons of americans here praising their legal system that allowed them to do pretty much whatever they wanted in their own home, including making a lot of bulletsize holes in eventual thieves. Apparently though, you're not free to be naked in your own homes...

    This raises a question, assume a thief broke into your house during night and you wake up and end up gunning him down, would you get charged for indecent behaviour/exposure if you slept naked and didn't have time to dress?

    Like people already mentioned in the previous article...if the gender of the two people (less the child) involved were to swop, it would still be the man getting arrested for peeping at a naked lady in her own home instead of arresting the lady for indecent exposure.
