AI Summary
This bill expands the legal definition of a child sex offender to include individuals who commit certain unauthorized video recording and live video transmission offenses involving minors under 18 years old. Specifically, the bill adds to the definition of a sex offense any violation or attempted violation of Section 26-4 that involves: (1) knowingly making a video record or transmitting live video of another person without consent in specific private spaces like restrooms, locker rooms, or hotel bedrooms; (2) capturing someone's intimate parts or undergarments without consent; or (3) placing a recording device in these private spaces with the intent to record someone without their permission. The bill amends both the Criminal Code of 2012 and the Sex Offender Registration Act to ensure that individuals who commit these invasive and non-consensual recording offenses against minors will be classified as child sex offenders. This classification carries significant legal consequences, including restrictions on proximity to schools, parks, and other places where children are present, as well as mandatory sex offender registration. The bill aims to protect minors from privacy violations and potential sexual exploitation through unauthorized video recording.
