Ohio HB345 increases penalties for voyeurism, including filming or photographing private areas without consent.

Ohio HB345 amends the Revised Code to increase penalties for voyeurism.

Repeat offenders face harsher penalties, with offenses escalating from misdemeanors to felonies based on prior convictions. The bill also specifically addresses the recording of minors in private settings.
