9. Voyeurism, Act of Lasciviousness

Eduardo Quintos, a widower for the past 10 years, felt that his retirement at the age of 70 gave him the opportunity to engage in his favorite pastime – voyeurism. If not using his high-powered binoculars to peep at his neighbor’s homes and domestic activities, his second choice was to follow sweet young girls. One day, he trailed a teenage girl up to the LRT station at EDSA-Buendia.

While ascending the stairs, he stayed one step behind her and in a moment of bravado, placed his hand on her left hip and gently massaged it. She screamed and shouted for help. Eduardo was arrested and charged with acts of lasciviousness. Is the designation of the crime correct? 5%

IX.

The designation of the crime as Acts of Lasciviousness is not correct. This crime can only be committed under the same circumstances as those provided for the crime of rape and seduction. These circumstances are not present in the case at bar.
