We need JLee in here. I didn't think indecent exposure applied to private property. What about those that sun bathe in the buff in their backyard? Can they be charged if someone peaks over the fence at them? What about nudist resorts/neighborhoods?

It won't go anywhere. Accidental exposure is ok, they need proof that he *intended* to expose himself to people, i.e. it has to be proved to be deliberate to be a crime.

Walking around your own house making coffee at 5:30am isn't deliberately exposing yourself to someone - well I hope not anyway <_<

Just who are at it again?

Is this a job well done?

You guessed it.

Why wasn't the woman charged for invasion of privacy? Why was she looking in his window anyways? If the genders were reversed in this event, would the nudist have been the one to get arrested?

***** should be charged for trespassing.

oh my god its a penis
indecent!

The police seem to think he was intentionally giving a show.

It's one thing to get spotted walking past the window naked. it's another thing entirely if he's sitting there in front of the window waving at people going past. (it doesn't say he was waving, but you can get the impression that he was aware she was there and was enjoying the attention.)

she was walking through his front yard and looked into his window... it's not hard to not notice someone walking through your front yard when you're having breakfast

i've been in my front yard doing something and not noticed the mailman until i hear the lid of my mailbox clank down

Okay, so if I was bringing my kid to the bus stop and we saw a naked guy in the window, EVEN if he was standing there with a smile on his face, I'd just tell him to look away and keep walking. Are people so sensitive that EVERYTHING has to turn into a legal battle?

One time there was a crazy naked man masturbating in the ruins of this big burned down mansion on the hill. My Mom, Grandma, and me were driving by and all 3 of us started gut-laughing. I was only 11, but it wasn't that big of a deal, and was more confusing than anything.

My wife & I spend the majority of our evenings naked. We also enjoy the natural lighting that our apartment windows offer. We use sheer curtains so that we still get a decent amount of natural light while also blurring the details for passerby's. We've had a few children stare through our windows because our cats like to sit on the windowsills but other than that we've never had any problems. I think that most intelligent people aren't going to make a fuss if they see you naked in your home as long as you're not putting on a public sex show. I personally think that people that have a problem with nudity have something stuck up their asses & are probably equally afraid of their own bodies. Maybe it stems from the whole Adam & Eve thing.

I think there is more to this story than the initial reports would have you believe.

Obviously I could be wrong, but that's my first impression.

It's been my experience that small but important details that show authority figures such as the police in a better/more positive light are often left out of stories such as this one.

won't anybody think of the children?

someone has to say it might as well be me...

pics or it didn't happen

If she was strolling through his front yard, and actually in his yard, wouldn't she be on his property?

It does seem a bit odd to eat breakfast nude though.



What?

Don't knock it til you've tried it.

I do like it when Americans display the prudishness that is stereotypically associate with the British. And thanks to crystal meth, you're getting horrible teeth too! You just need to start wearing bowler hats and shaking hands with chimney sweep boys and the transformation will be complete.

What, eating breakfast nude or masturbating in the ruins of a burned down mansion?

I just call that Sunday morning.

ok thinking of the children...

children are born naked... to make children you rub 2 naked people together

to make clothing you make children work in a sweatshop

CLOTHES PROMOTE THE SUFFERING OF CHILDREN

If a woman was naked in her house and a man peeked through the window, he'd be labeled a perv and charged.
If a man is naked in his house and a woman peeks through the window... the guy's still labeled a perv and charged.

Yeah, a mentally challenged guy was standing naked on the second floor of the half-burned down stone castle/mansion, facing towards the road masturbating. Several people had seen him that day, it was on the news that night. He was eventually caught and they found out he was retarded, but had no connection to the building burning down. One of my strangest childhood memories because it was so simple and clear. Just a naked white guy going to town on himself for the hillside to see.

morons.

He should have slapped the woman and the child in the face with his limp todger, that'll learn em

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Several things.

It was 5:30 AM, that is, before the sun came up.
Two. In order for her to see him, the lights inside had to be one.
Three. It was most likely dark in his yard.

If the inside is bright, and the outside is dark, you cannot see out a glass window : It becomes a one-way mirror.

So. The man most likely could not have seen her even if he had been looking. Second, what the hell was she doing outside, trespassing, with a seven year old, at 5:30 in the morning?

I got the impression from the guy's interview on the local news (Don't know if it's the same one I linked; I didn't watch the one I linked) that he didn't even know the woman was there until the police knocked on his door.

this is kind of what I was getting at with my first post.
Then again maybe it did happen like he said.

But also, it's not really a big deal for her to be walking in his front yard. At my old house I had a relatively small front yard and none of the yards on the street were fenced. people walked through the yard all the time. (I still walked around my house naked) :o.

Also, I spend a lot of evenings in my underwear or less when I'm at home. I tend to dislike wearing clothes unless it's too cold otherwise.

Back when I was living on my own I was naked all the time in the warm weather, it was awesome.

It's crap like this happening that turns people into never nudes.

Your decadent Australian lifestyle disgusts me.

Admit it, you're jealous of my decadence
