a Fairfax County Circuit Court jury acquitted him of the charge

Late last year, a judge convicted Erick Williamson of misdemeanor indecent exposure after two women complained that they had seen him standing naked in a window or doorway of his Virginia home.

But, arguing that he had a right to walk around in the buff in his own home, the 29-year-old commercial diver filed an appeal in the Fairfax County General District Court case, racking up legal fees and risking a jail term by doing so. Today, after deliberating less than 20 minutes, a Fairfax County Circuit Court jury acquitted him of the charge, reports the Washington Post’s Crime Scene blog.
