1 27 EXPLANATION
1 28 This bill creates a new criminal offense of invasion of
1 29 privacy and provides a penalty.
1 30 The bill provides that a person who knowingly views,
1 31 photographs, or films another person while the other person is
1 32 in a state of full or partial nudity, commits invasion of
1 33 privacy. However, under the bill, a person does not commit
1 34 invasion of privacy if the person being viewed, photographed,
1 35 or filmed is able and has consented to or has knowledge about
2 1 being viewed, photographed, or filmed, or would not have a
2 2 reasonable expectation of privacy.
2 3 The bill defines "full or partial nudity" to mean showing
2 4 of genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female nipple. The bill
2 5 also defines "view" to mean any looking by a person with or
2 6 without a device to enhance a person's viewing capability
2 7 which is for the purpose of satisfying the sexual desire of
2 8 any person.
2 9 A person who commits invasion of privacy is guilty of a
2 10 serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by
2 11 confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least
2 12 $250 but not more than $1,500.
