PEEPING TOM MAY FACE MORE THAN JAIL
The Daily Herald reported that Michael Scott Hall, age 19 from American Fork, has been charged with woyeurism. He is accused of hiding a camera in a women’s restroom at his place of work. He used the camera to take pictures of women using the restroom.
Utah criminal laws make such actions a crime. If convicted, Michael Scott Hall could face jail time and fines. Utah law also gives victims of such crimes the right to be compensated with money. Utah has long recognized the civil claim of invasion of privacy. When an individual “intrudes upon the seclusion” of another, that individual may be required by a court to pay money to the victims.
