Hey, pedophiles who are rejoicing about Hansen getting a taste of his own medicine: Sit down. You're still pedophiles. He wins.

So I was using Google image search to find a picture of the woman Chris is allegedly cheating with and got this:

Although this is ironic, I think it should be illegal to spy on someone like this. Having sex outside of marriage isn't illegal, having sex with children is.

it's only illegal if they taped them in a private location...if the video is of them at the Ritz Carlton restaurant, then it's fair game (public place). unless the hotel has a restriction on cameras posted maybe. either way, who cares other than his wife?

BTW the Ritz is private property owned by the Ritz not the public. Filming on the public Rights-of-way or from them OK....A restaurant is not PUBLIC property.

I really do not see much of a story here. As said above...nothing illegal.

one comment from a lawyer i found online about restaurants...they are part of the "public accommodation law". one viewpoint is this:

“First, with respect to “right of privacy,” this really isn’t a violation of the subject’s rights.” Says David. “Assuming that they were in a public place (restaurant) then they really have no expectation of privacy. This is no different than being recorded on a store’s security camera But because of the lack of facts, it is hard to say where the subject’s rights are in a right of publicity analysis.
“Now, if the subject was in a jurisdiction that has right of publicity protection, AND if the video was being used to promote a commercial product or service, then there would likely be a right of publicity violation.”
“If, on the other hand, the video is NOT being used in a commercial manner, then it is unlikely that this video violates the subject’s right of publicity.
