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

Neighbors have been complaining about the guy for decades.

If you drive past the man's home, which is just four miles south of Rainier and very near the intersection of Brownlee and Neer City Roads, be prepared for what you might see.

"I personally have seen him six or seven times," said a woman we'll call 'Susan.'  She did not wish to be shown on camera, but came to KATU News looking for help after lodging numerous complaints about what she was seeing.

"He's naked and he wants to be seen," she said.

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

"He's standing out there in the summer, the spring, the rain, in the heat," said Susan.  "It doesn't matter."

KATU News tried to talk to McKenzie, but he declined.  However, we only had to wait outside his home for about 10 minutes to see the so-called 'Naked Neighbor' come out in his red and revealing briefs.

Neighbors say that's how it starts.  He struts out in his underwear and then pulls them off.  One of his favorite times to go 'full Monty' is in the afternoon, they say, just in time for the Rainier school bus.

The local postal carrier, Becky Hubbard, said she too has seen him, numerous times.  She first heard about McKenzie after her niece returned home on the school bus one day.

"I said 'how long has this been going on?' and she said 'well, we've told the driver and everything else.  It's been going on forever,'" Hubbard said.

The driver of one school bus told KATU he saw McKenzie out naked twice, but it was a story he changed after talking to Superintendent R. Michael Carter.

"I'm just telling you that nothing is going on," Carter said outside the District Office.  "No comment."

When we told him that parents said they had made complaints to the school district, Carter said "We're done.  You may leave now.  We have not had one complaint.  I've told you that four times.  You may leave now please."

Hubbard said she complained to the previous school administration as far back as 2000. 

"Kids on the school bus have complained," she said.  "They told the driver.  I even called the school."

"What about the children?" asked Susan.  "What about the innocence?  Who's getting protected here?"

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.

However, if McKenzie does something  a little different than just walking, he could get in trouble.

"If he's walking around trying to arouse himself or others, then that's a crime," said Lt. Jerry Simmons with the Columbia County Sheriff's Department.

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.

"Just walking around in his birthday suit is not a crime," said Lt. Simmons.

However, some of McKenzie's neighbors say it is much more than a 'birthday parade.'

"When we told them that we had seen this gentleman outside in his driveway masturbating, they said 'we'll send someone out, but we're busy today,'" said Susan.

Nobody wants to acknowledge it," said Hubbard.  "Nobody wants to do anything about it."

KATU has obtained police and court records showing 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.

Deputies say they searched his home and found boxes and computer hard drives stuffed with child pornography.  McKenzie is currently free on bail for the child porn charges.  He goes to trial in late September, but that is little consolation to those who live near him.

"This guy was charged with kiddie porn and you're telling me he's not showing an interest in the children on the school bus?  Where else are you going to get that big of an audience?" asked Susan.
