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.


THERE IS VIDEO OF LOCAL NEWS STORY AT THE LINK: http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/local/101909_man_caught_making_coffee_naked_faces_charges#

Includes other information, such as the fact that the woman was basically trespassing on private property when she spotted this guy through a window.


:scared: :wtf: I realize there might be more to the story, but given what's already known I think it's pretty unfair this guy was arrested and charged.

[vadawg]

1. lol theres more to this story trust me, he wasnt completly all there...

[Gwendolyn]

22. How do you figure? What do you mean? Enquiring minds aim to know. n/t

[mrbarber]

36. "Trust you"? How about you provide some proof?

[donheld]

43. Can't, Won't

I never just "trust" anyone.

[bullwinkle428]

64. "Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

[Occulus]

81. He seemed perfectly average to me.

What made you think he wasn't "all there"?

[anonymous171]

2. OMG A NAKED MAN

[Hepburn]

3. Maybe the charges should have gone the other way?

Peeping Tom??? :shrug:

[Xipe Totec]

9. My thoughts exactly

and they should check him for hairy palms too.

[NYC Liberal]

21. If I was him, I'd tell the police I want charges filed for that.

and arrest the babies as they are being born.

[ZombieHorde]

42. I laughed. nt

[Flying Dream Blues]

61. LOL! nt

24. "What the mother-fucking hell is wrong with people?!"

Just leave Pandora's box alone....cause you don't want to get me started....you really do not.

leave that box closed, because it could get me banned from this place


Oh, by the way...thumbs up to everything you said below that..I agree wholeheartedly

[FiveGoodMen]

26. Yeah, I know what you mean.

[TransitJohn]

7. Right on! Let's get this guy on the sex offender's registry fast!

Men should never be naked, not even in their own homes. :sarcasm:

[Occulus]

82. That's a serious worry if an indecent exposure conviction is enough to make it happen.

I don't know the law regarding that, but it would be a truly horrible punishment over absolutely nothing if so, and it would mean that anyone- anyone observed to be naked in their own home from the outside, even when not intending to do so, could end up a registered sex offender.

A sex offender. For being naked in one's own home. I really, really hope, for the sake of this guy and his daughter, that that doesn't end up being the case.

[TransitJohn]

89. It's a registerable offense in most jurisdictions.

n/t

[Ian David]

8. WTF... he was naked in his own home.

And it's not even like he pressed his ass and testicles up against the window.

AND OMFG... They were trespassing on his property!

[nomorenomore08]

10. "IT'S JUST WHAT GOD GAVE ME YA PURITAN PUKES!!!"

[alittlelark]

11. How could this be an issue? The ppl were trespassing on his property

when they saw him naked!

Crazy world.


He should file trespassing charges on the woman that reported it.

[Trillo]

12. I've never seen naked coffee before!

Does it taste good?

To all naked humans making coffee inside glass houses: If it's light outside, even with the blinds open, it's very difficult to see inside through glass, unless the peeping tom is right up next to the glass. When it's dark outside, MAKE SURE the blinds are closed, particularly if inside lights are on.

[Tansy_Gold]

13. Why would anyone force coffee to take off its clothes?

come to think of it, why would anyone put clothes on coffee in the first place?



TG

[bluedeminredstate]

15. The woman who called the cops

was on his front lawn when she saw him!! She cut through his yard with her child and then looked in his window when she happened upon the revolting sight of a penis!!!
I can't believe that in Fairfax County the cops don't have better things to pursue than a man making coffee in his kitchen at 5:30 in the morning. The woman who reported this heinous crime is the one who is the creep. If walking naked in your home is arrest-worthy than I am married to an unrepentant criminal who breaks the law on a nightly basis by getting up from bed and walking naked to the bathroom - sometimes more than once in a night!


:wow:

[tazkcmo]

16. The only person breaking the law

was the peeping Tom.

[nevergiveup]

17. Making coffee requires boiling water

and this can be dangerous especially when you are drowsy and naked. The woman was obviously trying to protect the man from potentially harmful behavior :)

[chollybocker]

18. It's a good thing he wasn't frying bacon!

;)

[Rebubula]

86. Please...

...Google the 'Bacon Flow Chart'

Unless, of course, you were referring to that in the first place..

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. At least I live in a more civilized area of the contry

oy...

By the way the peeping tom was THE WOMAN

[krabigirl]

74. Of course it was. SOme sexually repressed freak who claims to care about "the children."

[ohheckyeah]

20. They have to prove intent

so he will likely be found not guilty but he shouldn't have been arrested. The woman WHO WAS IN HIS YARD should have been.

[corpseratemedia]

23. maybe she hadn't seen a penis in 8 years

[Common Sense Party]

25. Pull the drapes, moron.

It's not that difficult.

[tabasco]

40. Stop looking in other people's windows.

Even easier.

[Common Sense Party]

47. Who walks around the house nekkid, with the lights on and the

drapes open?

I don't make it a habit to peer in people's windows, but windows are always transparent, and sight lines are what they are. If you wouldn't want your Grandma seeing whatever you're doing if she dropped by, it's best to draw the curtains.

A common courtesy that apparently has fallen out of fashion.

[mainer]

51. I do. It's my house, my property, and I don't like drapes.

I just happen to be a woman.

This guy should fight it to the bitter end.

And that woman is the creep.

[guitar man]

55. umm..

exactly where do you live? :evilgrin:

[mainer]

70. In Maine. With lots of trees.

You'd have to come right up our driveway and stare at an upstairs window to see it.

[guitar man]

75. I'm down with that

:evilgrin:

:rofl:

:hi:

[ellie]

69. My dad

used to strip down to his boxer shorts and walk around the house and in the backyard this way all of the time and he said if people didn't like it that they shouldn't be looking in the house or in the yard.

[Toucano]

53. The common courtesy that has fallen out of fashion would be quickly looking the other way

when you encounter someone - regardless or the location or circumstances - who has inadvertently exposed themselves to you.

Unintentional self-exposure is clearly distinguishable from the intentional.

The common courtesy that has fallen out of fashion would be not trespassing on other people's property and then reporting them to the police for a "harm" you suffered as a result of your actions.


It is perfectly possible to walk without looking through transparent glass.

[Blue_Tires]

59. fifth amendment...

[TrogL]

65. I do - the kitchen windows don't have drapes

But you'd have to be standing on top of the neighbour's roof or in my yard to see me.

[mike_c]

85. I do, just about every night and morning....

Get dressed, just to go to the kitchen or the bathroom? Or go turn down the stereo? Or whatever? :rofl:

[northernlights]

97. apparently he wasn't expecting grandma...or trespassers

at 5:30 am.

The woman should be arrested for trespassing and peeping. How ridiculous.Next we'll be arresting people for disturbing the peace in their own homes...oh wait a minute. That one already happened. :eye:

[Touchdown]

98. It helps drop a fever to place my ass cheeks on a cold window.

:evilgrin:

[pipi_k]

27. For the past few years I've been paranoid about being caught

by one of those Google Earth type cameras through my bathroom skylight as I'm sitting on the commode.

It could happen.


:+

[FirstLight]

28. uh, 5:30 AM, in your OWN kitchen

Jeebus, wtf is right...

I am definitely surprised the police would take the time to pursue this, that is a waste of taxpayer dollars, isn't it?

[tularetom]

29. Wonder what he used to stir the coffee?

[Warren DeMontague]

30. I think no one should be naked, ever.

Under any circumstances.

Nor should they make coffee.

[conscious evolution]

93. We are always naked

under our clothes.
What you gonna do about that?

[Warren DeMontague]

103. I'm gonna put a stop to it.

Maybe clothes under the clothes. And more clothes, under those, with even more clothes to cover up the uncovered unclothed-ness underneath.

[ddeclue]

31. Declothinated coffee?

:rofl:

eeewww...

[Gwendolyn]

32. Chock Full 'o Nuts... original blend. :-)

[ddeclue]

33. Don't want the stirrer stick or soda straw...

:puke:

[rucky]

78. Starbuff's

[AsahinaKimi]

34. This is totally insane...

Seriously, how close to the window was she? And in the Kitchen how far was he from the window? She trespassed on his property, and reported him? This is so wrong, in so many ways.

Is this country turning into the Middle east with its own Taliban moral police? Geeze..

[TK421]

37. PEEKING into his fucking window....apparently!!!!

how else do you see something like that with the description? Well....maybe the guy had a fifteen foot schlong that she almost tripped over on the curb!

[Junkdrawer]

35. If a young woman were naked, and a man reported the "crime"....

wanna bet the man would have been arrested as a Peeping Tom.

[TK421]

39. BINGO!!!!!!!

[Blue_Tires]

60. +1000

[question everything]

90. Yup! (nt)

[gleaner]

38. This is ridiculous ...

When I first get up, I am barely sentient much less worrying about whether or not someone is looking in at me for fashion tips.

In your own house, harming no one and going about your business you should be safe from being hassled. If there is more to the story, I would still like to know how it justifies the man's arrest. And since when is what the police "think" you intend grounds for arrest? Do the words probable cause still mean anything?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

41. "The best part of waking up, is coffee in the buff"

[bertman]

44. At 530am in Virginia IT IS PITCH DARK and nobody is stirring. Why was a woman out

"walking a seven year old" at that time of day?

Something very weird about this.

[rvablue]

49. Interesting point...hadn't even thought of that

Also, I might be wrong, but I think it's mentioned she was taking a short cut to the bus stop or to school.....well, given the hour, that wouldn't much sense.

[gkhouston]

50. Maybe the kid's in a magnet program and has a really early school bus to catch?? n/t

[bertman]

52. Taking a shortcut could make sense if it saved some walking time and she was running late

or made it a habit to leave late knowing she could use the shorcut. BUT, to use the shortcut, then call the police on the naked coffee maker guy whose property she is short-cutting (trespassing) on is pretty arrogant.

I'm guessing uptight fundie. Or either the naked coffee maker guy is grossly obese and seeing his nakedness grossed her out.

:evilgrin:

[Occulus]

83. If you watch the video, the guy's actually pretty good-looking.

And he's a commercial diver (as well as under 30), so he's probably in pretty good shape to boot.

[Thickasabrick]

94. You're right - he's hawt!! nt

[Gwendolyn]

95. Yeah, he has nice feet. And it does look like a good, athletic bod was under there too.

Really pathetic that he got slammed for being comfortable in his own house.

[Touchdown]

100. It says he a prof. diver. So swimmer's body is probably more like it.

Maybe she's jealous that her hubby doesn't look as good, and somebody has to pay.:rofl:

[MajorChode]

45. The puritains in this country really do need to get laid

Even if he were on his front or back porch butt nekkid, there should not be a law against it.

I don't give a shit if a kid saw it or not. Kids aren't traumatized by nudity. As Lewis Black says, kids are traumatized by adults' reactions to nudity.

[krabigirl]

73. Yes, this horrible woman needs serious de-programming.

What an awful person. I think her family should be looked into as well by CPS.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

46. What was she doing peeking in his window?

Freaking perv.

[FlyingSquirrel]

48. I don't follow links to Fox

[skypilot]

54. Hell...

...I would love to see that guy naked. He's got kind of a big, sexy bear thing going on.

[question everything]

56. What was nekkid, the man or the coffee?

:shrug:

[BolivarianHero]

57. I clicked this topic expecting Singapore...

Virginia can be even nuttier though.

[Toasterlad]

58. That Woman Should Be Tied To a Chair And Forced to Look At Penises For a Week

Maybe after that they won't terrify her so much.

[gkhouston]

77. Great idea! What was the man's address?

:blush:

[Kokonoe]

62. Its zero tolerance for people who grew up in Hawaii.

living near D.C. and have a daughter.
It was just unlucky he was naked at the same time.

[mainer]

71. people in hawaii aren't so uptight about nakedness.

Or about having to wear bras, either.

[Sky Masterson]

63. He should be arrested only if he was brewing Decaf

:D

[TwilightGardener]

66. My attitude is, when I'm in my own home--if you're looking, it's YOUR problem, not mine.

[shadowknows69]

67. There was a guy in my city who used to masturbate right in his window

The cops apparently couldn't arrest him because he was in his own home. Now this is a case where the cops should have been able to cite him somehow IMO, but waling around naked in your own house without any evidence you were trying to get people to see you is his/her business. Don't look in people's fucking windows.

[gkhouston]

79. Wonder what his Windex budget was. n/t

[shadowknows69]

84. Ewww

[TrogL]

68. I couldn't understand a word of what was being said

Looks like you had to try hard to see him.

Where was the five-year-old daughter?

[Occulus]

80. Probably either in bed or with Mom

Where's the kid now? Did she get taken from him as the result of a "sex charge"?

And here's an even more ominous question: is this charge enough to put him on the state's sex offender registry? Because if it is, and he's convicted, this lady just screwed his life for good.

[krabigirl]

72. Wow..what a puritanical freak this woman must have been.

She needs help. How someone could find the nude body as shameful, I could never understand.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

76. Everybody has their own formula for making a good cuppa coffee.

Personally, I prefer the "Let my wife do it" method, whether she is naked or not doesn't seem to affect the flavor.

[DemBones DemBones]

102. The Bible says the husband should make the coffee.

There's a whole book in the OT called He brews.

[RedCloud]

105. LOL!

[robo50]

87. Time for some law enforcement and attorney personnel to lose

their jobs over this frivolous arrest.

[spanone]

88. another case of faux news bringing us the hard hitting news of the day

[question everything]

91. The naked truth? Woman's account exposes different story

The woman who reported to police that a man in a Springfield home exposed himself to her and her son has a different story than what Eric Williamson has told to local media.

The woman told police it was 8:40 a.m. when she was walking her son to school along a path between houses. She said they first spotted Williamson naked in an open door in the car port of his home. She also told police that Williamson then walked across the house to a large window, facing the way she was walking.

Williamson, 29, faces an indecent exposure charge after a passerby saw him in the buff in his own home making coffee. Channel 5 reports the woman and 7-year-old boy who saw him naked apparently had cut through Williamson's front yard from a nearby path. Williamson says he didn't know anyone could see him.

(snip)

Fairfax County Police say they believed Williamson wanted to be seen naked by the public. Williamson, a father of a 5-year old girl, said he plans to fight the charge. "There is not a chance on this planet I would ever, ever, ever do anything like that to a kid," he says. Police say they are checking to see if there have been any other complaints.

A trial lawyer, who is not connected to the Williamson's case, says the state will have to prove that Williamson knew people were there for them to get a conviction on the charge that carries a one-year jail term and a $2,000 fine.

[blogslut]

92. Has that lady ever looked out a window when it's dark outside?

People looking in can see while people looking out can't.

[HipChick]

104. of course she had to change her story, she's married to a Fairfax County Police Officer

[astral]

96. I make coffee nekked all the time.

Especially if I got in the tub and find out it's too hot. I go put on some more coffee while I'm waiting for it to cool a tad. I have no curtains on my window and don't expect people to be walking by and they would have to really go out of their way to see the details, but this is a nother example of people Breaking the Law in America by "accident." This puts him equal with being a sex offender, too, in case people hadn't thought of that yet, if he doesn't get out from under it -- might as well put a tattoo on his forehead.

I want to find out what comes of this story.

(Oops, sorry, I didn't bother to read all the threads before posting that this has already been stated here ~~~~)

[hedgehog]

99. Here's what I don't get: what does being a commercial diver from Hawaii have to do with anything?

Is it a custom in Hawaii to make coffee in the nude?

Do commercial divers run around naked to avoid the bends?

What I really want to know about this guy is whether he prefers football or NASCAR.

[marmar]

101. The Puritanical silliness that pervades in this country makes me ill.

:puke:
