Peeping Tom at Pool Cleared of Voyeurism
It is a subject that most men manage to keep under wraps - or at least under their shirts. But yesterday (15th May) 3 Senior Judges grappled with the question as to whether Male Breasts could be regared as having any sexual allure. The leading legal minds got to grips with the issue after a a 44 year old male was convicted last year of Voyeurism. He had been caught at a Public Swimming Pool with a Video Camera hidden in a plastic bag (With a hole for the lens) secretly filming Mens 'Top Halves'.
The judges ruled that a mans bare torso could not count as 'private parts'. The 2003 Sexual Offences Act specifies that 'Private Parts' must be exposed for Voyeurism to have taken place. Only women it seems have breasts that can be seem in a sexual light. So Ladies breasts are still considered 'Private' in 21st Century bathers, whilst mens are not.
As the 44 year old Man that won his appeal said
'It was the men I was interested in!'
It takes all sorts, we suppose.
