Stop VOYEURS Act of 2024

HR 7778, the Stop VOYEURS Act of 2024, amends federal law to strengthen penalties for video voyeurism. It increases the maximum prison sentence for such offenses from one year to five years and expands federal jurisdiction to cover cases involving interstate travel, digital communications (like email or apps), payments, or equipment used across state lines. The bill directly affects individuals who secretly record others without consent in situations connected to interstate commerce or digital platforms. Key provisions define specific circumstances - such as using the internet, making payments, or traveling between states - to trigger federal prosecution. This law applies to non-consensual recordings occurring within U.S. territories or involving interstate activity.
