5.    Importance/affect on families/individuals: This affect families/individuals because it’s like the guy basically got away with his crimes and others might be worried now

6.    My input: I can’t believe that this man only got six months in jail when he plead guilty to his crime. This man had seventy-nine videos of three different women that he took while they were in their bathrooms at their homes. Also, this man took thirty-seven videos of the women he lived with in their bathroom without her permission. I at least think this man should get separate sentence for each women he record. Each women that this man record probably feels violated in some way or another and is probably going to feel unsafe in their own home for a while. I also believe that this man or anyone that does the same thing should at least get six month if not more for each video they have record and also have to pay for if any of the women need outside help to be able to get over what happen to them. I think when someone records someone else without their permission especially in a private moment that it is a form of rape, virtual rape.
