Nude shots on the phone – Jarolim, criminal liability will

Vienna (OTS/SK) – in The case of a football coach of an Austrian women’s team, who had filmed his players, without their consent, naked in the locker room, and in the absence of statutory provision, there is no charge threatening calls SPÖ justice spokesman Hannes Jarolim on the Plan. „Obviously, there is here a gap in the law. It can not be, that criminal law remains without consequences, if it so engages in the intimate sphere of a human being – even if the recordings were not released,“ said Jarolim. He is now planning on the parliamentary level, the legislative initiative. „A criminal provision would, for instance, in the framework of the provisions on coercion“. ****

For movies, „a man in the Nude without their consent, or to photograph, is a massive intervention in self-determination.“ A new criminal standard could be rooted, therefore, in the section of the criminal code to „Offences against freedom“, proposes Jarolim and announced a corresponding request of the SPÖ. A is not for Jarolim clear: „A provision in the administration of criminal law, as the ÖVP being considered, is sufficient.“ (End) ah/ls
