Using binoculars=peeping tom=you’re not at fault. Now, after you know about the kid and binoculars, then are you at fault for continuing your nudity? I don’t know. Anyone?
Okay, I’m thinking back a few years when I was teenage boy, and I have come up with the perfect solution.
StarvingButStrong, seems you don’t really have a problem with the boy, but more of a problem with the bitchy mother. Make a deal with the boy, he promises to not get caught enjoying your “stroke worthiness”, in turn mother dearest thinks he has stopped his evil ways, and she doesn’t have any more beef with you, and you can continue your morning parade. Everyone is happy. 
I find it hard to believe that this kid can actually see anything. In the interest of fighting ignorance I’m gonna have to take a trip to your house and look through your windows at varying distances and with you in various states of undress to determine likely it is that this story has any validity.
StarvingButStrong what was your address again?
The kid’s a moron…he should have had a telephoto lens on the camcorder. Then he would have had proof he was a peeping tom when the cops asked him.
The BM is just pissed ‘cause little Johnny is whackin’ to the neighbor lady instead of the Victorias Secret catalog she had laying around.
Ans SbS…what will you feel the first time you see the little whacker in public??
I say it’s her kid who had the ‘indecent explosure’!
IIRC, the window they were seen thru looked out onto a pool area at extreme close range, i.e. if you were standing on the side of the pool, the widow was in the wall behind you, at ground level. Also, I believe the window was open and they were in front of it/against it.
One point to the OP about the blinds in your room, angle is everything where those are concerned. From the ground outside your window they may appear mostly closed, but if the kids’ eye level is elevated somewhat, they may give a much better view.
Also, hasn’t this problem mostly solved itself? I guess what I’m saying is that from now on, when you get out of the shower you’re not going to be able to walk around comfortably knowing there’s someone watching, so you’re gonna either close the blinds all the way or get dressed. Or are you?
Maybe she saw you and wants you to stop, so she used her son as an excuse. I had an aunt who would do things like that all the time.
Robb’s got it right – there’s no way of answering this question without knowing your legal jurisdiction. What you’re doing is definitely illegal according to the more conservative Muslim states, such as Saudi Arabia. Especially during Ramadan, the onus is on you to make sure that any display of eating, drinking, smoking, nudity, or sex, even in your own home, is shielded from the public. Even if someone spots you through an open window from a kilometre away, you could find yourself in trouble with the mutawwa. (It’s happened before to Western guest workers.) I wouldn’t be surprised if there are similar laws on the books even in North American jurisdictions, but whether they’re actively enforced is another matter. Then again, you have probably seen the recent threads about people being charged with indecency for public breastfeeding or snapping photographs of their own children.

No, that is not double-ententre!!
There’s another aspect of this, too: As I understand it, it’s indecent exposure if you don’t take reasonable precautions to prevent people seeing you who don’t want to. Other folks have covered the “reasonable precautions” part (I think the fact that he’s using binoculars rather clinches it), but there’s also the fact that the kid is obviously not unwilling to see you. Of course, you might not want this, but the police aren’t going to arrest you for that. And depending on the kid’s age and your jurisdiction, I suppose that there might be some other things your neighbor might try to charge you with (corrupting a minor, maybe? I dunno). But showing yourself to someone who’s willing to look isn’t indecent exposure.
Do I have to add that I’m not a lawyer?
Sorta. This is partly the reason why we need to know where this took place - we need a framework that the law of that jurisdiction provides.
That the person looking is willing isn’t the end of the discussion. Let’s change the facts to a situation where the houses are closer together and Whacko doesn’t need his binoculars to peep. In that situation, it could still be indecent exposure because the BM could walk into the room and see the show. This would be reckless about the presence of one who would be offended - the people who wouldn’t be offended don’t always count for much.
As for stroke-worthiness from a distance, it can take surprisingly little to titillate a teenaged boy in the midst of, er, such actions. When I was that age, it didn’t take much to get me to the edge. (“Much” referring to how much skin is showing and how clearly. I’m sure you’re quite stroke-worthy in and of yourself. ;))
I would report first before the crackpot neighbor reports on you.
What I bet happened is the kid was spying with his binoculars and caught a glimpe of something, and then decided to spank his monkey (or whatever the kids call it).
Mother, wondering why little Timmy was taking so long and worrying that he would be late for school goes up and barges in on the act…and Timmy makes the excuse that he would have been a good boy, if only that naughty neighbor of his didn’t dry her bosom in the morning light…
…oh dear, now I think I’m going to get arrested.
If a strokeworthy neighbor woman walked around her house naked, and I could see her easily, I’d complain.
Clean those windows!

I can’t stress enough that you would best be served by talking to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. It is possible that you may have violated the law. Would you rather feel sanctimonious and wind up in jail and/or fined?
Legal advice on the web is usually worth every penny it costs.
Yeah-isn’t peeping something you can be charged with-NOT walking around naked?
Personally, if I caught my kid doing this, I’d just discreetly and politely let the neighbor know that he or she could be “seen” and then I’d read my kid the riot act for peeping at neighbors.
I’d definitely tell her that if she tries to call the police for something so frivolous, that I’d counter charge her son.
Yeesh.
BTW, have you had other problems with this neighbor? She sounds like a real piece of work.
This is just so silly, especially all this anal-yzing.
Just go on about your business/life/drying routine. You now have some reason to think (whether it’s really true or not) that the neighbor teenager boy has been peeping. If this really bothers you, take whatever measures to increase view blockage. If not, then forget about it. If mom is so uptight and bothered as to call police, let her. The case won’t go anywhere if the situation is as you’ve described. Calling up lawyers, or for that matter adding anyone else, into the situation is stupid, unnecessary, and only complicates the situation.
And let the kid alone. Don’t say nothin’. Otherwise he’ll be unnecessarily embarrassed and will probably avoid the more innocent neighborly gestures that you’ll appreciate as he matures.
I’m wondering how long the mom must have looked on in order to establish what he was jacking to. That perv. … Tell her I said to shut up and mind her own bees wax.
The boy isn’t necessarily a pervert or even destined to a life of being a peeping Tom. Much depends on his age. A twelve year old might think he has struck gold. An older teen knows better.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with walking around your own house nude after a shower. I usually find towels adequate for drying off. But that’s my choice. But for your own protection you may not want to open those blinds until you are dressed. Why not keep your privacy secure from prying eyes?
Do find out what the laws are where you live. Sometimes law-makers aren’t as rational as Dopers.
