Isn't there a much more serious charge to be made against these two alleged perverts?
One of taking and producing indecent images and circulating them on a Gay Web Site.
As you point out AOG - attitudes to this issue vary immensely.
Personally, I would be most flattered if someone thought my naked form would be worth web-space on a gay site - but we do have seriously differeing views, and i don;t think it's right that anyone should belittle your stance on this.
AOG - I presumed that the filming was covert - you presume that it was obvious.
I presume that he was told about it by someone else and then confirmed it was on a gay site. you presume that he surfs gay porn and found a video of himself.
I don't know who's right, but you are the one saying on this site that you shouldn't presume things. Seems that you have presumed something and accused a person of being homosexual without any thought.
A charge of voyeurism is punishable by a maximum prison term of 6 months and/or maximum fine of £5000 (Magistrate) or maximum prison term 2 years (Crown), which many would class as "serious".
That being said, it has been known for punishment to be meagre at best...
