I have a friend who got into some legal trouble. Tomorrow is the court date and he is really worried about going to jail. Maximum penalty would be 1 year in jail but it is his first offense and he wants to try to apply for AR. His attorney has already let him know the judge is really against him applying for AR and the victim is coming to court to request that he does not get the 1st timers sentence.
His crime was being in his own home pleasuring himself with the blinds open. He did not see the nosey neighbor looking our her window watching until after it had been taking place for a while. At that point he thought she was just into it but next thing he knows the police show up. Sorry to be graphic but he is very worried and I need to know whether I can comfort him by saying "Don't worry, there is really little chance of going to jail over this" HELP!!!

In addition to anything the courts might, or might not, do the odds are his employer will dump him and he will be without income.
There was a guy that they picked up around here running around downtown without pants that turned out to be a high school teacher in the next town. He was unemployed immediately.
Do the police buy that same story about his being in the privacy of his own home or is that just what he tells his friends? The cops usually recognize that these guys start out like that and then go on to the next step of pulling women or kids into their cars.

It depends on your state laws and local ordinences. It also depends on where you live. Where I live in Ohio your friend would do six months but probably get out after 30 days and get five years probation. If you are a rural county then he is screwed if you are a big city then he won't get much. Pretty much the rule of thumb. Tell him to listen to the attorney. Don't piss off the judge...EVER! I hope for your sake that your friend doesn't live near a school or day care also. You can email me if you want more info. But please let me know where you live at so I can guess better for you. If it is in Ohio then I can give you a good estimate to expect. Victims coming to court is always a sign you are going to jail. Tell him to take all the vacation time he can and he can always cancell it later if not needed.

I had a similar issue I have a person in my family accused of indecent exposure. my Looney toon of an aunt who should be locked up for various reasons herself- claims another family exposed his self to her when he answered the door during a interfamily civil suit against my aforementioned aunt's eldest adult child. According to my uncle on the other side of the family whose a Toledo Police Officer said that the man could do anything in his own house in that regards. Such as walking around the house without clothes with windows open, changing in front of a window, or in a few cases you'll have an idiot who answers a door with a towel on and it just happens to fall off- oh well. My male relative accused of the crime volunteered a polygraph my aunt refused to volunteer- that right there ended that stupidity.

Did he have a lawyer? I have heard of a few cases like this and even one case where a guy was driving around in his car naked. To get to the point, in all cases the courts ruled that a persons house is not a public place, nor a persons car and they can do what ever they want to, while in them. As far as going to jail, it's unlikely. Jails are way overcrowded and you have to commit a serious felony to get jail time on your first offense.

whilst not saying your friend is not telling the whole truth it seems odd that when he was aware that he could be over looked at ANY point [ie blinds open]...................and did he sort of wave at her or anything to add to his 'offense' you state he thought she was into it................
Mind you in the same breath I also question this ladies motive....its not like he was pressed UP against his window was he?
I feel for your mate, and hopefully he will be OK..............
Just a small question what is AR ????

3 years deferred adjudication is the best option.. Most courts will accept that plea then after completing it successful hire an attorney to have it expunged from your record. This is the only way to do this

He's not going to jail. He was in his own house. Probation and maybe some community service.
