56 Years For A Hidden Camera

I don't know it does seem a little bit excessive to me. A good yelling at, a large fine. Make him buy a new trailer for them to live in.

In early 2005, James Boudreaux was sharing a mobile home with his son and his 18-year-old stepdaughter, with whom he'd been living almost without interruption since she was 11 years old.

His stepdaughter, who is not named in the court opinion, found out what was going on when she knocked on Boudreaux's door to give him some cigarettes she purchased on his behalf. Her stepfather was standing naked in front of the television. He quickly stopped the tape he was watching and jumped into bed--but not before she spotted what was on the screen.

That led her to enter his bedroom later, when he was gone, and discover videotapes depicting her and several friends in various stages of undress. She disconnected the camera installed in her bedroom. She then confronted Boudreaux, who replied that it was his trailer and he could film whatever he wanted.

Boudreaux kicked her out of the home a few months later, at which time the stepdaughter asked the sheriff's office for help in retrieving her personal items. She mentioned the video camera and tapes, which led to a search warrant and Boudreaux being arrested.

Kicking her out was stupid. Saying he could do whatever he wanted was stupid. But I think he is 56 years not because of changes in laws addressing video voyeurism. But because he has record.

I wonder if his son and her was married to her for 7 years it is Louisiana. And I think the age of consent is still 11 yrs down there.
