SB26 Summary

• Creates two degrees of voyeurism as crimes: voyeurism in the first degree (Class C felony) requires the offender act for sexual arousal or gratification; voyeurism in the second degree (Class A misdemeanor) has no such requirement.

• Defines "intimate areas" as portions of the body traditionally covered by undergarments, including genitals, pubic areas, buttocks, and female breasts, whether or not actually covered.

• Applies to photographing, filming, or recording intimate areas through, under, or around clothing without consent when the victim has a reasonable expectation of privacy, in public or private places.

• Reduces penalties to misdemeanors for defendants 18 years of age or younger; statute of limitations begins at time of discovery of the photograph or film.

• Exempts Department of Corrections and jail personnel conducting security activities or investigations; allows courts to order destruction of recorded images with 90 days' notice to the victim.
