“She was on private property without permission. What right does she have to complain about something which is only illegal if done where it’s publicly visible?”

You are aware that many windows and adjacent interiors are very visible from OTHER peoples’ HOUSES, are you not? It’s not as if it all magically becomes invisible once one crosses that property line.

As for persmission - I don’t know if she had it or not (probably not written, but perhaps expressed).

In any case, it’s not as if she was a true VOYEUR.

Of course, and if she were on the sidewalk at the time, she'd have a complaint. Since she cut through his property, too bad. I don't even care if you can see into that window from the sidewalk since that wasn't where she was at the time.

True, we don't actually know that she didn't. If she did have written permission to be there would be the only case in which I'd support her complaint.

In any case, it’s not as if she was a true VOYEUR.

Never said she was, and didn't suggest charging her with peeping like some of the posters. I saw nothing in the article that suggested she was looking in the window for that purpose. I only said she was fortunate not to get charged for trespassing (and then only if she didn't have written permission to cut across the yard).
