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.

I’m not unkempt.
Jeannie C. Riley will need to add another verse.
That news account is totally BS! I was wearing a hat........
Easy.... Some are not aware.
Silly!
kids think you are.....:^)
We live in very strange times, indeed.
As long as it isn’t Skip Gates, this should turn out fine.
As I understand it, you have some expectation of privacy if what you’re doing can’t be easily seen from your neighbor’s property or the public right-of-way.
It all depends upon how visible he was from the sidewalk, and how much the lady had to stretch her neck to see him.
The only thing I can say is that he is proabably thanking God he was not caught smoking a cigarette at the same time. It would be ALL over for him for sure then.
Feminazi strolling by ... what a stupid maroon she is.
Not unkempt, just wrinkly, clothed or unclothed.
I used to play some backyard football behind these large stone houses in the south and there was one family that didn’t wear a stitch of clothing. They never came outside and the only people interested were the girls. The guys could care less, but the girls were always watching and waiting. Football was the order of the day.
Exhibitionists think they can do their thing with the apartment/condo/townhome window blinds open. It also happens in single family residences downslope from the road/sidewalk and in poorly screened backyards.
No kidding. And yet another woman with a 7 year old daughter trespassing through his yard at 5:AM. This guy must have some exceptional characteristic they are not reporting.
However, there is plenty of evidence that they were born naked, so doesn't that make nudity natural and normal behavior which should be afforded an even greater degree of protection?
I know the song wasn’t about me soon as she got to “apricot scarf.”
Thank god he wasn’t giving himself a coffee enema, like Steve McQueen was doing while fighting his cancer. Then he would be in big trouble!!
What’s to prevent this neighbor from just making the whole thing up and simply telling the police she saw somebody naked thru a window?
