Which offense is defined as photographing intimate areas without consent to satisfy sexual desire?

• A. Criminal Eavesdropping
• B. Voyeurism (1st Degree)
• C. Public Lewdness
• D. Criminal Surveillance

Answer: (B)

Voyeurism involves observing or recording another person’s intimate areas without consent for sexual arousal or gratification. Photographing intimate parts fits this offense because the key elements are capturing images of private body areas without consent for sexual purpose. The first-degree level typically covers more serious methods (such as using a device to capture the imagery) or aggravating circumstances, which aligns with taking photographs for sexual gratification.

Criminal eavesdropping is about secretly listening to or recording conversations, not images of the body. Public lewdness concerns lewd acts in public spaces. Criminal surveillance covers spying or monitoring in a way that doesn’t necessarily involve photographing intimate areas for sexual arousal.
