May backing upskirt law

THERESA May is supporting calls to outlaw taking photos up women’s skirts without their consent.

The Prime Minister said the Government will look “in detail” at a Bill put forward by Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse.

Mrs May said she “shares the outrage” of victims over the behaviour.

So-called upskirting is not automatically a crime in England and Wales.

Prosecutions rely on laws to stop voyeurism or enforce public order.
