CRIMINAL INVASION OF PRIVACY

Under CRS 18-7-801, the crime of criminal invasion of privacy is knowingly observing or photographing another person’s private parts without consent. Here are three things to know about this offense:
1) It is criminal invasion of privacy only when the person being recorded has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Therefore, filming someone undressed at a nude beach, a strip club, or a topless pool party would not be illegal under this statute.
2) Criminal invasion of privacy is a class 2 misdemeanor in Colorado. The penalties include up to 120 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $750. Note that criminal invasion of privacy is a separate crime from invasion of privacy for sexual gratification under CRS 18-3-405.6. That is a more serious offense carrying harsher penalties as well as sex offender registration.
3) Victims who have been observed or filmed in a state of undress without their consent may be able to sue regardless of whether there are criminal charges. Depending on the case, victims may be able to recover damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress. COLORADO LEGAL DEFENSE GROUP
