The article discusses the issue of upskirting in Ireland, a voyeuristic practice where individuals secretly record intimate images of women without their consent. A recent case involved Luke Haskins, who was sentenced to a suspended term for recording a woman at her own home. The conviction was made under Coco's Law, established to protect individuals from such invasions of privacy. While the law has seen prosecutions, many are centered around the sharing of intimate images post-relationship rather than the initial invasion itself, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current legislation against this type of crime.
The legislation under which Haskins was convicted reflects society's increasing intolerance toward voyeuristic practices such as upskirting, emphasizing privacy rights for women.
Coco's Law, named after bullying victim Nicole 'Coco' Fox Fenlon, represents a legal commitment to combatting invasive behaviors like upskirting and image exploitation.
