Expresso Machoato: Virginia Man Charged After Making Coffee in the Nude

Eric Williamson, a 29-year-old Springfield man has been charged in Fairfax County with the crime of making coffee in the nude — in his own home. A neighbor called the police after she walked by Williamson’s house with her seven-year-old son and saw him making espresso exposo.

I am happy to see my local police adding to this blog. Williamson was seen at 5:30 am when he might not have been expecting an audience. Nevertheless, the police concluded that he wanted to cause a frappu-sceno.

He now faces a misdemeanor charge for indecent exposure and could face up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine.

This is analogous to another case in a neighboring jurisdiction when Washington police arrested a government official who was accused of intentionally parading himself in front of a bay window. However, usually these cases involve men outside windows exposing themselves.

One would normally expect more than one unguarded moment for a criminal charge, as in the Georgetown case. Yet, if you want the grande Mocha Con Berries in Virginia, go to Starbucks and remember to dress.
