Altering the penalties for the crime of visual surveillance with prurient intent if the victim was a minor at the time of the offense and the offender is at least 4 years older than the victim; and providing penalties for a violation of the Act of imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of $5,000 or both.

AI Summary

This bill amends Maryland's criminal law to increase the penalties for visual surveillance with prurient intent if the victim was a minor and the offender is at least 4 years older than the victim. Specifically, it increases the maximum penalty from 1 year imprisonment and a $2,500 fine to 10 years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. The bill also expands the definition of "private place" to include a residence and any place of private or public use or accommodation where a person can reasonably be expected to partially disrobe and have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
