[2008] EWCA Crim 1174

In determining whether an offence of voyeurism had been committed, it was for the jury to decide on a case by case basis whether a person had a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the nature of the observation, as opposed to the purpose of the observation, might be relevant to that determination. The word "breasts" in the Sexual Offences Act 2003 s.68(1)(a) did not extend to the exposed male chest.
