Charges Dropped Against Naked Prosecutor?

The charges of indecent exposure have been dropped against Ohio prosecutor Scott Blauvelt due to a technicality, but Sheriff's officials say that charges will be refiled with corrections. Mike Gmoser, Blauvelt's attorney said,
"There has been a great deal of public humiliation in the Blauvelt family we're very happy the charges have been dismissed. It's time for Scott to rebuild his reputation in the community."
Certainly law enforcement officials have better things to do than persecute someone who's only crime was being naked in a government building, seen by nobody except a security guard watching a monitor.
Chief Deputy Tony Dwyer said the additional words will clarify that Blauvelt is accused of being near others while committing the crime.
Near others? Can this argument possibly stand up in court, that somebody might have seen the man naked, and therefore he is guilty of indecent exposure? 45 million people without health insurance, Americans are dying every day in Iraq, Iran and North Korea have the bomb, and the best we can do is waste time prosecuting a man because somebody might have seen him naked? Sheesh.
