1 26 EXPLANATION
1 27 This bill creates a new criminal offense of invasion of
1 28 privacy and provides a penalty.
1 29 The bill provides that a person who knowingly views,
1 30 photographs, or films another person while the other person is
1 31 in a state of full or partial nudity, commits invasion of
1 32 privacy. However, under the bill, a person does not commit
1 33 invasion of privacy if the person being viewed, photographed,
1 34 or filmed is able and has consented to or has knowledge about
1 35 being viewed, photographed, or filmed or is in an area where a
2 1 person would not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
2 2 The bill defines "full or partial nudity" to include any
2 3 showing of genitals, pubic area, or female nipple. The bill
2 4 also defines "view" to include any looking by a person with or
2 5 without a device to enhance a person's viewing capability
2 6 which is for the purpose of satisfying the sexual desire of
2 7 any person.
2 8 A person who commits invasion of privacy is guilty of an
2 9 aggravated misdemeanor. An aggravated misdemeanor is
2 10 punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a
2 11 fine of at least $500 but not more than $5,000.
