Bill > HR1203

This bill, known as the Stop VOYEURS Act of 2025, expands the federal prohibition against video voyeurism by broadening the circumstances under which such a crime can be prosecuted. Currently, video voyeurism is a misdemeanor with a maximum one-year prison sentence, but this bill increases the potential penalty to five years in prison. The bill significantly extends the law's jurisdiction by creating seven new conditions that would make the offense prosecutable at the federal level, including situations where the offender or victim travels interstate, uses interstate communication channels, makes payments related to the voyeurism, transmits communications about the act across state lines, uses equipment that has traveled interstate, commits the act in U.S. territories, or impacts interstate commerce in any way. These expanded provisions essentially mean that video voyeurism can now be prosecuted as a federal crime in a much wider range of scenarios, giving law enforcement and prosecutors more tools to address this invasive and harmful behavior.
