Allen remained listed as being in custody when the court record was retrieved on Tuesday. A public defender was named as his attorney.
An adjudicatory hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Nov. 12 in Arlington General District Court. No disposition has been entered, and the charge remains pending.
Previous Arlington Charges Were Dropped
Virginia court records also show that Allen faced three unrelated Arlington charges filed in August 2025.
Those cases included two misdemeanor counts of assault and battery against a family or household member. One charge stemmed from an alleged July 21, 2025, offense, while the other involved an alleged Aug. 11, 2025, offense.
Allen was also charged with felony strangulation in connection with the alleged Aug. 11 incident. That charge was initially filed in Arlington General District Court before being transferred to Arlington Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
All three charges were resolved through nolle prosequi findings on March 2, 2026, court records show. A nolle prosequi disposition means prosecutors ended the charges without obtaining convictions.
The pending indecent-exposure charge is an allegation. Allen is presumed innocent unless proved guilty in court.
