OR- Judge tells peeping Tom that privacy is sacred

Now,how to get this judge to tell lawmakers (highlighted) what he told this peeping tom?

8-20-2008 Oregon:

The 31-year-old convicted peeping Tom didn't want to agree to random searches of his computer or his cell-phone camera.

Nor did he want to abide by a curfew, or submit to random polygraph tests.

"He's not a sex offender," argued his court-appointed attorney, Kami White, noting that Oregon law doesn't recognize peeping as that kind of offense.

But Multnomah County Judge Eric Bloch told Jeremy Peter Goulet that he had violated a cherished societal boundary: the ability to retreat behind closed doors and feel safe.

"Personal privacy is one of the most important and sacred things we as individuals have," Bloch said. "This is an act that is highly inappropriate. It is life altering to the victim. It's wrong. ...And it's got to stop."

Goulet was convicted three months ago of peeping at a 22-year-old Northwest Portland woman as she showered -something the prosecutor says he has done hundreds of times without getting caught. Goulet was convicted of peeping in California eight years ago.

The judge sentenced Goulet to all the above conditions and more, including sex-offender treatment and three years of probation.

Goulet, himself, admitted during a trial in May that he liked to videotape unsuspecting women in various states of undress. Police found at least one video on his cell phone which showed a woman dressed in night clothes.

During the four-day trial, Goulet admitted to watching 22-year-old Amy Luangrath shower in her condo in the 2600 block of Northwest Raleigh Street last October. He denied allegations that he took a screen off the open window and put a stick in the blinds to peer in.

The woman's boyfriend, Danny Thomas, caught a glimpse of Goulet before he vanished. Thomas testified that when he saw Goulet in the condo's courtyard again, he chased him down, put him in a headlock and told him never to return.

When the boyfriend spotted Goulet walking in front of the building a third time a few weeks later, the two began to wrestle. Goulet testified he was simply walking home when the boyfriend jumped him. But Thomas said he was fighting for his life as Goulet tried to pull out a gun and shoot him.

Goulet said he carried the gun for protection, because he was afraid of Thomas, but that he wasn't trying to shoot him. He was trying to keep the gun from being wrested away and used against him.

Prosecutors charged Goulet with attempted murder and a few other felonies, but jurors found Goulet guilty of two misdemeanors: illegally carrying the gun and invasion of personal privacy.

At Wednesday's sentencing hearing, Goulet's attorney said her client had already suffered quite a bit. White said Goulet had lost his job and the home he rented. White also said she's fairly sure the victim's boyfriend posted Goulet's photo and information about him on Craigslist more than a dozen times.

"So his picture has been out there for everyone to see," White said.

Goulet told the judge he's struggling financially.

"There's absolutely no way I'm able to pay for counseling on my own," Goulet said.

The judge said Goulet has to make treatment his top priority.

"How could those dollars be better spent than on your health and well-being?" Bloch said. ..News Source.. by Aimee Green, The Oregonian
