‘What in the law & order SVU’: A DoorDasher says man placed order to ‘leave at door.’ Then she sees how he greeted her
A DoorDash driver was harassed, violated, and shocked when she dropped off a delivery, only to find a man “with his pants and underwear down” in 59-degree weather. He was fully exposed because he had left his door wide open.
In a video with over 233,000 views, Livie Rose Henderson (@irlmonsterhighdoll) shared footage of an encounter with a customer who she said voyeuristically exposed himself to her. The man reportedly “fell asleep” before she arrived, leaving his door ajar. In the video, she clearly shows the man’s legs and general frame—without any pants—as he “sleeps.” She recounted in later follow-ups that the situation felt deliberate.
“It’s cold outside… your lights are on, your door is open, and you just ordered DoorDash… And within 15 minutes, you’re asleep on the couch naked? Come on now. That is voyeurism,” she said regarding the incident.
Was it legal for him to expose himself in his home?
Many commenters said it shouldn’t be legal for a DoorDash customer to expose themselves, raising the question of whether Henderson could press charges.
Henderson filed a complaint, but police said no charges could be pressed since the man was on private property. The legal criteria for indecent exposure often rely on the idea of an incident happening in “public space.” But, “exposure can be deemed indecent if visible from public areas, such as a street or neighbor’s yard,” according to legalclarity.org.
Henderson mentioned that the man lived in a duplex, which usually hosts other tenants. She could argue for a criminal case, but it depends on her state’s laws.
Another factor is at play, however: Intent. It’s difficult to prove that there was any willful intent to expose himself. The context and circumstances surrounding the act do matter. All of the details that Henderson described technically play a role in whether or not he can reasonably be charged.
Pursuing another avenue for retribution—the building management
Many commenters pointed out how police may not pursue the case, and how “flimsy” law enforcement is at large. Some argued that Henderson should take a different approach to prevent the man’s future voyeurism.
“I would’ve reported him to the building management or something… There MUST BE families that live there with children,” said one commenter.
Most properties have lease stipulations requiring that the tenant abide by laws and not engage in disruptive behavior. If his duplex has clauses regarding disruptive behavior, his building management could send a fee his way. This generally requires documentation and proof, two things that Henderson luckily has. She also captured his specific duplex apartment number along with his general build, making it easy to confirm his identity.
In Philadelphia County, the County Court of Common Pleas even sent a proverbial warning to all of its landlords stating that they’re responsible for their tenants’ behavior who caused “physical and emotional distress to neighboring tenants.” While that’s a case from 2006, there’s legal precedent to argue that a landlord is liable for their tenant’s unruly sexual behavior, and thereby argue that the building management has a responsibility to hold that man accountable.
Has DoorDash responded to Henderson’s claims?
According to a follow-up video that Henderson posted on October 13, the company is taking “longer than usual” to respond to her claims regarding this encounter.
“ I reported this to DoorDash over 12 hours ago, and they’re supposed to call me back, which is strange because I’ve reported a couple less serious incidents before… They called me back within one to two hours for those reports… I don’t know what’s going on there,” she recalled in her follow-up.
She reportedly waited to call the police because she wanted to see what DoorDash’s specific procedure was in handling sexual complaints.
Based on DoorDash’s sexual harassment policies, the customer violated their rules and guidelines. As their website reads, “Visual misconduct like leering, making sexual gestures, or displaying sexually suggestive objects, pictures, cartoons, posters, or messages” constitutes sexual harassment.
DoorDash’s policy also states that the biggest punishment they can offer the man is account deletion: “If we determine that the sexual harassment policy has been violated, remedial action will be taken, commensurate with the severity of the offense, up to and including account deactivation,” the company states.

More than just an uncomfortable encounter
Henderson emphasized in a follow-up how uncomfortable the encounter was, as it was completely against her will. By showing up at his doorstep and even seeing that, she argued, she was fulfilling something for that man that she did not consent to or want.
In her video, she noted that his living near a variety of people made the situation even worse. “If I wasn’t the target, you still shouldn’t be whacking it off… whether you’re drunk or under the influence of any substances with your door wide open regardless,” she said.
To many, the case counts as public indecency. Henderson added, “Anybody could walk out and get assaulted from that… It could be a child. Anybody walking by on the sidewalk and accidentally getting a glance would be a victim.”
