Eric Williamson, from Springfield, Virginia, was brewing coffee in his kitchen when a woman and a seven-year-old boy walked past the window and saw him.
The woman complained to police who arrested Williamson shortly after the incident on Monday morning.
Williamson, 29, insisted he did nothing wrong and that any exposure of his private parts were accidental.
"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," he said.
Williamson, who has a five-year-old daughter, added: "I am a loving dad. Any of my friends and anyone knows that and there is not a chance on this planet I would ever, ever, ever do anything like that to a kid.
"I never had a conversation with anyone, never saw anyone. Didn't cross my mind, came and got coffee. I mean if I stood and seemed comfortable in my kitchen possibly it's natural. It's my kitchen," he insisted.
A spokesman for Fairfax county police, Mary Ann Jennings, said Williamson was arrested because officers believed he wanted to be seen naked by the public.
The 29-year-old faces up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine if he is convicted. He is fighting the charge and seeking damages from police.

How can they charge him for “wanting to be seen naked in public”? First, he was not in public. He was in his own home. Second, how can someone be charged for wanting? Do we truly have thought police now?
yuck
I’m so glad I don’t live in the city.
You know you make pretty bad coffee when ...
And further more, if I saw anyone naked in their home I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone else!

Be careful everyone, perverted peeping tom mother and son could get you arrested and jailed. Maybe they should charge the mother for peeping instead :p
Next, Man jailed for getting naked while taking bath and got caught on camera
“Williamson was arrested because officers believed he wanted to be seen naked by the public.”
Well, I’m glad they can read his mind, but they give no indication this was a pattern.
I wonder how busy a street he lives on? My street is not even a through street, yet I know that there are people out before dawn walking their dogs, jogging, etc. So if he had no blinds or curtains drawn, this comes off as disingenuous at best. It’s different if you’re on an acreage somewhere and can reasonably expect privacy.
He’s so vain...
This story is very stupid. There were a number of folks “nekkid” in their homes and as kids we just ridiculed them as unkempt. What the hell happened between then and now?
Exactly! Why was this woman peeping into his home? Didn’t the man say that it was still dark outside?
The nosy neighbor should be arrested for being a Peeping Mary.
Arrested for the third time here!
Another thought,
HEADLINE: Woman arrested for naked exhibition at home. Caught on camera by peeping tom. Police thanks peeping tom for doing a great service to society
