This bill significantly expands the federal prohibition against video voyeurism by amending Title 18, United States Code, Section 1801. It broadens the jurisdictional scope of the offense beyond the previous limitation to special maritime and territorial jurisdiction. The legislation introduces a new set of circumstances that trigger federal jurisdiction, including instances where the offender or victim traveled in interstate commerce, or where interstate commerce facilities, payments, or communications were used in connection with the voyeurism. This expansion also covers cases where equipment used in the offense traveled in interstate commerce, or if the conduct otherwise affected interstate or foreign commerce. Furthermore, the bill increases the maximum penalty for video voyeurism from one year to five years imprisonment, reflecting a more severe stance against such offenses.
