Attorney O's Midnight Musings: Connecticut Law » Eric Williams

“The Naked Guy” Found not Guilty by Jury

On October 21, 2009, I posted about Eric Williams, a guy who happened to wake up at 5:30, make a cup of coffee, and drink it in his living room … in the nude. A mother and her child picked that day to cut through his yard, spy his nakedness, and call the police to report him for indecent exposure.

I’m pleased to report that a Fairfax County jury found Mr. Williams not guilty. Unfortunately, the verdict did not come cheap. Poor Mr. Williams incurred legal fees estimated to total some $10,000 to $15,000.

A few words of caution: don’t drink coffee in the nude in your own home. It could cost you.

Virginia Man Charged with Indecent Exposure for Being Naked in His Own Home

Eric Williams awoke at 5:30 a.m. yesterday and went to make coffee in his kitchen. He was home alone, it was dark outside … and Williams just happened to be naked. A woman and her 7-year-old child cut through his front yard from a nearby bath and spied him (and his nakedness) through his front window. Shortly after, the 29-year-old man was arrested for indecent exposure. Police believe he wanted people to see him naked. If convicted, Williams could face a year in jail and a $2,000.00 fine. He plans to fight the charge.
