Legal Definitions - voyeur

Definition: A voyeur is someone who watches or observes something without participating. Specifically, it refers to someone who gets pleasure from secretly watching another person's genitals or sexual acts.

• Peeping Toms who spy on their neighbors through windows are considered voyeurs.
• A person who secretly watches others in a public restroom is also a voyeur.
• Someone who watches pornographic videos without actively participating in sexual activity is not necessarily a voyeur, as they are not secretly observing another person's genitals or sexual acts.
