Now that I see there were actually two independent reports, I believe the guy was in view.
As far as the cops walking in because of an "open door," I'd rather they just stayed out of my house.
See the following links
The naked truth? Woman's account exposes different story
"Channel 5 reports the woman and 7-year-old boy who saw him naked apparently had cut through Williamson's front yard from a nearby path."
and
Naked Man Making Coffee in Kitchen Arrested for Indecent Exposure: Witness Admits Cutting Through Mans Yard. Springfield, VA, Cops Scramble to Back up Cops Wife Claim
(cops covering for another cop's wife?)
"The witness, a neighborhood woman, is married to a Fairfax county cop and admitted she, along with the boy, had cut through Williamsons yard."
An additional observation from the above link is:
"We have no doubt, that if the tables were turned, and a man had cut through the witness yard in the early morning hours and had looked into her window, then she could have a case of a peeping Tom. "
