A Bill to make certain acts of voyeurism an offence.
The Voyeurism (Offences) Bill would create new criminal offences to cover acts of voyeurism, clarifying what counts as voyeurism in today’s digital world. It aims to protect people’s privacy by addressing acts such as observing or recording intimate moments without consent, especially where technology is involved. It would give authorities clearer grounds to prosecute those who commit such acts.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons, the first stage of debate. If it clears this stage, it will continue through the remaining parliamentary stages.
