VOYEURISM

By

The Court of Appeal has clarified that filming a partner during sex without consent is voyeurism during a case involving a man from Cardiff. Tony Richards appealed his jail sentence for filming two sex workers without their knowledge. However, the appeal court judges ruled that the women involved had had a reasonable expectation of privacy.
