Sue VOYEURS Act
This bill creates a civil lawsuit right for individuals whose intimate images or videos are secretly recorded without consent in situations where privacy was expected (like in a bathroom or bedroom). Victims can seek $150,000 per image plus legal fees and court orders to stop the sharing or removal of the content. It covers images of private body areas (genitals, buttocks, or female nipples), sexual fluids, or sexual conduct, but only when the victim had a reasonable expectation of privacy. The law excludes law enforcement actions conducted under a valid warrant.
