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.

Uhm, there was no FR 30 years ago, so there!
This perv was just flashing. If it is dark outside and you turn on the light inside, guess what! You are in a fishbowl! Everyone knows that.
I’m glad I live in the country. I have the luxury of having some distance from my neighbors. Unless the guy was wanking in the window I think this is a bunch of hippo tail spray.
Just sayin...
“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”
ROTFFl. Thanx.
It was not dark. It was 8:30 and the lady was taking the child to the bus stop.
His roomate said that he was fired on Friday and had been acting strangely. That morning, according to his roomate, he was drunk and running around butt-naked except for his work-hat on.
Best as I recall (I was young) there were printing presses in 1976. So I put it to you again, where is the precedent for someone making coffee naked and being hated on 30 years later on FR? Seems this thread is running 10 to 1 in support of the naked brewer and against the peeping tom-ette. So, did you just pull that comment of your ass?
“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.
I didn’t see 8:30 anywhere. Maybe the woman shouldn’t have been peeping (no pun intended) in his window.
I didn’t read that he had any priors for this. If he was a perv, I would think that this wasn’t the first time. I think he should sue the woman for peeping in his window.
Time to file charges against the lady...for being a peeping Thomasina.
(If the gent could be purposely shown to have planned to “put
his wares on display”)
Your weakness and bias shows.
How so?
You take the drunken lunatic’s words verbatim and ignore the words of the women and his roomate.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Also, are you reading a different article than I am? Nowhere in the article does it state a specific time, or have a statement from the man’s roommate.
Yes. I have an open mind and little curiousity that the scumbag is not what he says he is. Have you heard of Google?
hmmm. I wonder who said this on another article:
“I think there is much more to this than the article states.”
