Winchester Lawmaker's Bill Would Up Penalties for Repeated Voyeurism Crimes

The N.H. Senate on Thursday passed a bill by Winchester Rep. Jennifer Rhodes to increase the penalty for repeat “peeping Tom” crimes and similar violations.

At a March 28 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the bill, 53 people signed up in support of the legislation, and nobody was against it.

Pamela Keilig, a public policy specialist at the N.H. Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, told the panel the bill would bring the privacy law in line with other statutes, such as the indecent exposure law, that have tougher penalties for repeat violations.
