Man convicted of in-home nudity 男子因在家裸體而被定罪

◎羅彥傑

A Virginia man convicted of indecent exposure for being nude in his home said he filed an immediate appeal.

維吉尼亞州一名男子因為在家裡裸體而被判妨害風化罪,他表示已立即提出上訴。

Erick Williamson, 29, was found guilty Friday in Fairfax General District Court and Judge Ian O’Flaherty sentenced him to 180 days in jail, suspended for one year, and court costs of $72, which he is not required to pay due to his appeal, The Washington Post reported Monday.

29歲的艾略克.威廉森,週五在費爾法克斯綜合地區法院被裁定有罪,伊安.歐佛拉赫提法官判他坐牢180天,緩刑1年,以及法院訴訟費用72美元,但因為他要上訴,所以不必支付這筆費用,華盛頓郵報週一報導說。

Williamson said he does not believe he did anything wrong when he was naked inside his home in the morning of Oct. 19. He said he did not intentionally expose himself to two women and a 7-year-old boy who passed by his home.

威廉森表示,他不相信當自己10月19日上午在家裡裸體時,有什麼地方做錯。他說他不是故意要暴露自己給經過他家的2名女性與1名7歲男童看。

"That’s outrageous," Williamson said of the verdict. "It’s unbelievable."

「這令人生氣,」威廉森在提到這項判決時說。「這真是不可思議。」

A misdemeanor appeals court jury is scheduled to hear the case in February.

預計一個處理輕罪的上訴法院陪審團,將在2月間審理本案。
