Graham Rowe, a 61 year old man, has been convicted three times of non-consensually taking photographs of young women and girls. On one of the occasions, he was issued a trespass notice by police. A few weeks ago, his conviction for taking photos of two underage girls wearing bikinis at beach, was quashed. His lawyer said that “if they didn’t want to be snapped, they shouldn’t have worn bikinis”. Mary-Margaret spoke to Gill Greer, President of National Women’s Council, about the problematic precedent this sets, and the wider right to respect within society.
