Do You Believe A High School Boy Should Get Jail Time For Taking Pictures, With His I-Phone, Of A Girl In The Next Tanning Booth At A Tanning Salon?

There are a lot of variables involved here. Was the woman in an area where her privacy was implied? Or was she in an area that was viewable to the public? When you are in public, there is little that can be done regarding photographs. But if she was in an environment of implied privacy then there is a possible case. But that case could just as likely be made against the Tanning Salon for not protecting her privacy more thoroughly.

No he should nt but he should be banned from the tanning salon

Maybe not jail time, but an apology and some sort of restituion to the girl, if this is his 1st offense. After the 1st- jail would be appropriate

Jail time would serve no purpose. BUT you cannot let this go with a slap on the wrist. He is not a boy. He is an 18 year old MAN. And behavior such as this must at least be examined. Voyuerism has led to many other accelerated sexual deviant behaviors. Taking secret pictures of an adult nude female may satisfy his sexual fantasies at the moment, but they usually grow into more aggresive manifests of his sexual immaturity. I would at least submit him to mandatory psychiatric evaluation ( paid for by HIS parents, not the taxpayer ), to make sure there is nothing there that will explode and harm someone else later.

I believe if it were his first offense then no he should not get jail time . There is no room in the jails now let alone for perpetrators of crimes that no one was physically harmed in.

I feel there should be some discipline, but jail is a bit harsh as they don't do rehabilitation so what will he learn from being locked up, utilize some form of classes to teach right from wrong perhaps he did not get that at home, take the phone away not allow him to ever have a phone that has a camera don't know how that will work off the top of my head anything except jail for first offense, make him take classes about privacy etc.....he definitely needs training of sorts.....my feelings...

You can believe me that if that had happened here, he would be in jail and charges would be filed!! That is a clear invasion of her privacy, and his actions are unforgivable!! He should be in jail and charged to the max, along with a hefty fine and a very high bail amount. That is no less than a peeping tom would get I am sure, and there just is no excuse for that kind of behavior. I am sickened.

No not at all. A firm reprimand for ungentlemanly behaviour . When boys stop being curious or mischievious then something is not right. Hormones versus behaviour is always going to present issues. However, if the guilty party takes it beyond curiosity and uses the images to bribe or terrorise the girl, then i think a much more serious approach is needed. :)

Not if it's his first offense but some form of punishment . Jim123

If the boy makes the next step of actually posting the pictures, then some damages can be assessed..

Not if its his first offense but some sort of punishment should be given . Jim123

The law is the law. The boy should have at least be put on probation & a severe warning from the courts.
