Invasion of Privacy Charges Filed against New Jersey Man
A New Jersey man has been arrested after he was allegedly seen taking inappropriate photos of women without their knowledge. According to a news report in The Star-Ledger, the incident occurred in Teaneck when the man was observed taking photos up women's skirts. The man now faces invasion of privacy charges.
The severity of the penalties that result from an invasion of privacy charge depends upon the circumstances of the case. Under New Jersey Criminal Code 2C:14-9, an individual "commits a crime of the third degree if, knowing that he is not licensed or privileged to do so, he photographs, films, videotapes, records, or otherwise reproduces in any manner, the image of another person whose intimate parts are exposed or who is engaged in an act of sexual penetration or sexual contact, without that person's consent and under circumstances in which a reasonable person would not expect to be observed."
