She’s called him her golden ticket and it makes me sick. I don’t know this man, but apparently, he’s very nice.

I’ve listened to her for months and it makes me sick.

I’ve told her she should end things. She never will because of the wealth.

Do I have an obligation to warn him with an anonymous email or letter?

A - The “property rights” vs. indecent exposure issue depends on the laws where you live.

Example: “Generally, in America (where this letterwriter lives) nudity is against the law in public places.

“Moreover, nudity is also generally illegal on a person’s own property if the nude person is visible to the public, such as through an open window or sunbathing nude in someone’s yard.”

I stress the word “generally,” quoted above from the website HG.org Legal Resources.

In Canada, according to www.criminal.findlaw.ca, “Canada’s Criminal Code forbids nudity in public places or on private property that’s exposed to public view without a lawful excuse.”

Issues with neighbours may then still arise, e.g. if there are curious children living nearby with parents who object.

Or if strangers and passersby gather to stare and/or take photos, putting your situation in the public domain.

The simplest solution to uncertainty - hang view-blocking art on the fence.
