Street harassment will be prosecuted, law chiefs vow
People responsible for sexual harassment in the street can - and will be - charged, new guidance to prosecutors in England and Wales says.
However, the Home Office at present believes existing criminal offences adequately deal with abusive public behaviour. In cases of unwanted touching in the street or public transport, police do not have to prove what happened was "intentionally sexual", says the guidance.The CPS also highlights a new law banning voyeurism while a person is breastfeeding a child, and a ban on up-skirting, which came into effect in 2019.
