Video Voyeurism

A three (3) year suspended sentence with probation is the sentence received by a Barrington man charged in 2005 with video voyeurism.  The Barrington man pled guilty to one (1) count video voyeurism after he took an inappropriate photograph of a young girl at his Warren coffee shop.

As reported by Linda Borg in the March 24, 2010 Providence Journal, the video voyeurism law "was enacted in 2004 to protect people from being secretly photographed or videotaped.  The crime carries a penalty of up to three years in prison and a $5,000.00 fine."  The Barrington man was also charged with one (1) count of possession of marijuana.  "At the time of his arrest, the police said they had found photos of the girl on Byrne's digital camera along with images of more than fifty 'unsuspecting' adult women."
