Dad Faces No Charges for Nude Pictures of Daughter Taken From Web Cam
From ABC news.com

May 29— Crystal's parents were away on vacation when she made a
disturbing discovery on her father's computer: nude pictures —
and
she was the subject.
Crystal, now 24, says her father, Ron, retrieved the pictures via a
computer Web camera in her bedroom, which had previously been in his
office. The photos stretched back five years, to when she was 19.
She made the discovery while her parents were on vacation. Crystal
told her mother when they returned from their trip...
...
When Crystal tried to turn copies of the photos over to police to
press criminal charges against her dad, she got another surprise.
Under state law in Massachusetts, it is not a crime to take pictures
of someone without their knowledge, even if they're nude.

"There was no criminal law involved here," said Elizabeth Scheibel,
Northwestern district attorney for the commonwealth of
Massachusetts. "It is not against the law to photograph an adult
without their consent or knowledge," she said.

Scheibel said the criminal law in Massachusetts has a major loophole.
While it is a crime to make audio recordings of an adult without
their knowledge, someone can take all the pictures he wants without
being arrested or prosecuted.

Crystal said she's sharing her painful story with the world in an
effort to change the law. She wants a new law to be introduced in the
state of Massachusetts that would make it illegal for anyone to take
nude photos of an adult without their knowledge.
