Swedish Man Now Legally Permitted To Stroll Home Nude

What do you do in your own home? A man from Växjö went naked in his villa and charged with having exposed himself to a woman on the street. A man from Västerbotten masturbated at home in the shower and then charged with a number of women had seen this through his bad window. Both were freed recently by the District Court. But a man from York Mills was sentenced because he admitted that he forgot to pull the curtains ...

A woman in her 30s, she claims that on four occasions has been the victim of an attractive older man in his 50s who has appeared naked in his own villa in Växjö. The House is surrounded by a hedge which is partly obscured, and the woman does not know himself if the man has seen that she has found herself on the street.

But she reported him to the police itself and required 9,000 kronor in damages. He was charged with sexual molestation – but was acquitted by a District Court.

– To bring charges in this way involves exposing people for very great discomfort. In general it can be said that the verdict shows that it is not a crime to go around naked in his own home, "said the man's lawyer Torgny Eklund.

On two of the occasions, the woman had her husband around who have video file food in through the Windows of the Villa. District Court sets out in its ruling for the two videos:

"The movie from november 27 emerges the image of a person alleged to be the X."

"The movie from the 28 november is clear a nude male standing in a lighted window. Man's character is naked and talking on the phone while he gazes out the window. "

The woman told the Court that she "was scared and felt great discomfort of experiences". She says she does not know if the naked man has seen her but that she "understood the situation" as he masturbated. When it comes to just the time when the most obvious of the videos were recorded, however, she says that she "see X nude inside the home but does not perceive that he is doing something".

Don't we call that a peeping tom/tomasina here in the US? Why isn't she being charged for video-recording someone through the window of their home without their permission?
