Oregon residents fed up with their naked neighbour

A man dubbed the 'Naked Neighbour' because he constantly exposes himself in view of both adults and children is proving frustrating to those who just want him to cover up.

The man's name is Jimmy "Mack" McKenzie. He turns 60 next month. Neighbours say he has been strutting his stuff in front of them since he was in his 40s.



The Columbia County Sheriff's Department has received complaints about McKenzie, but they say what he is doing is not illegal.

According to the law, McKenzie can walk all the way down his driveway to his mailbox, stark naked if he likes, and it doesn't matter who sees him.

Oregon's law on public nudity is clear - it is not public indecency unless the person engages in sexual intercourse publicly or attempts arousing sexual desire with their self or another person.

McKenzie was charged with public indecency three times between 1989 and 2004. According to records at the state appeals court, he also admitted to molesting a toddler and while he was serving probation in 2005, McKenzie was arrested again, this time charged with 50 counts of Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse.
