'Upskirting' case involved multiple victims, Berkshire County DA urges update on Massachusetts law
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A news conference is being held in Pittsfield regarding an 'upskirting' case involving more than a dozen victims in Williamstown, and the importance of proposed legislation to expand the law. In a news release sent to 22News from the Berkshire District Attorney's Office, a court case of electronic recording or surveillance of a nude or partially nude person, sometimes referred to as upskirting, was recently indicted. They say it involved 16 victims in Williamstown. LISTEN: Overwhelming number of reports impersonating Springfield police The DA's office is holding a news conference on Thursday morning to highlight this case and the importance of proposed legislation regarding the increasing accessibility of surveillance equipment to the public. The anti-upskirting bill in Massachusetts was passed into law in 2014, which makes the act of taking pictures or videos of a person underneath their clothes without their knowledge illegal. It carries a maximum penalty of over two years in jail and a $5,000 fine. If the victim is under the age of 18, the penalties are increased. Berkshire County State Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier proposed an amendment to the upskirting law that expands the definition of what qualifies as 'upskirting' and establishes associated penalties.
