WI Bill Puts Voyeurs on Sex Offender Registry

fox11online.com: WI Bill Puts Voyeurs on Sex Offender Registry.

Madison, Wis. (AP) - Video voyeurs might soon find themselves on Wisconsin's sex offender registry. It's currently a felony in Wisconsin to make a video recording of a nude person if the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy or is recorded in a locker room.

The state Assembly passed a measure in January that would enable judges to order voyeurs to join the Department of Corrections' sex offender registry. The Senate passed the bill last month as well, but amended the measure to require judges to order juvenile voyeurs off the registry when they complete their dispositions. On Tuesday senators withdrew the amendment, clearing the way for Gov. Jim Doyle to sign the bill into law or veto it.
