An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in other offenses, further providing for the offense of invasion of privacy.
This bill amends Pennsylvania law to criminalize the act of photographing, filming, or viewing intimate parts of another person without their knowledge and consent for sexual gratification. The legislation specifically includes images created using artificial intelligence and defines intimate parts to include genitals, pubic areas, buttocks, and female nipples. It also clarifies that the offense occurs in places where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as changing rooms or private residences. The law applies to anyone who knowingly records or views these images, regardless of whether the person is wearing clothing. This measure takes effect 60 days after it is passed.
