How To Punish Rutgers Student Who Took PHotos of Sleeping Guest

[+ Lucky]

Richard Charles Tucker took photos of his guest while the guest was still sleeping. It is said that they are sexually Suggestive.

 

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/787203/thumbs/s-RICHARD-CHARLES-TUCKWELL-large.jpg Richard Charles Tuckwell 20, surrendered to police late Friday and was released without bail, according to the AP (Mugshot via Princeton Patch)

 

 

 

 

 

If the guest was a trick who woke up and found the photos being shot, then he could have complained, and apparently did. If he wasn't naked, just how suggestive were the photos?

 

I think we should punish Mr. Tuckwell by taking sexually suggestive photos of him and then circulating them. Would he not then learn his lesson? Or, do you have the right to take photos of your naked trick while he sleeps?

If his guest sleeps with his Butt UP in the air I'm guessing it was a little more than a sleep over! This Trickster is kinda cute also...

It happened at Princeton

 

The only link I could find is http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Princeton-Student-Tuckwell-Explicit-Photos-171011201.html

Well I think its OK to take the pics as long as you DONT circulate them. If he wants to jerk off to them in the privacy of his room, no harm done. Once you make things public, thats a whole other offense.

I don't think it's ok to take sexually explicit pictures of anyone without their consent. Is taking such pictures while someone is unawares really any different from taking photos through secret peepholes in dressing rooms, etc.?

Noone was having sex. The guy was sleeping nude. Now a days, people take your picture in all sorts of situations, and under all kinds of conditions without your knowledge. Would the situation be any different if the "victim" authorized the shot ??? The result is the same... These guys were intimate, so as long as the pic remains "private" I dont see a problem IMO.

Yes there is a difference between sex partners taking pics of each other, and unsuspecting people being photographed in dressing rooms while shopping for clothes. Come on Seek, even you can see that. BUT, since its now the new, mellow JJ, whatever YOU say Seek..... you are RIGHT !

You may think it's ok, but it appears to be a crime to do this. He's been charged with invasion of privacy, even with no indication of the photos being made public.

Did I miss something in the article? I didnt see any mention of them being "intimate".. What I read was that they were out drinking, they went back to the one guy's apartment, and the younger guy passed out. Many guys, especially 18 yr old guys fresh out of the parent's house, sleep nude.

Oh well, guess ill stop photographing my guests... Dont wanna commit any crimes.

I'm with Lurker on this one---I saw no reference in the article that indicated the two young men were intimate. The two met at a party, Tuckwell apparently invited the 19 year old to spend the night in his room(or perhaps brought the "Guest" back to his flat in hopes???) The "guest" slept in the nude--he's coming from a party. Who carries PJs to a drinking party? "Guest" wakes up and finds Tuckwell snapping photos of him in the nude. "Guest" objects.

How and why this incident went further than Tuckwell's room is not reported. There seem to be some missing elements in this story, so I'll stay tuned for further details and hope these questions are answered: Did the "Guest" report this to the police? Did Tuckwell refuse to delete the photos from his phone and/or camera? Were the photos distributed anywhere? What made the photos sexually explicit?

Oh--one other question: The title of the thread says a "Rutgers student" but the link provided by Gallahadesquire refers to a Princeton student. Are we talkilng about two separate incidents here? Or was it just an error in the title?

The key is consent. if an escort secretly filmed his encounter with you, would that be ok?

Do you do it secretly?

Actually, the article doesn't say he was sleeping in the nude, so we don't know what made the pictures 'sexually explicit'. i would assume exposed genitalia, but...who knows.

[seeker630]

Apparently there are also allegations of sexual assault: http://www.trentonian.com/article/20120924/NEWS01/120929648/princeton-student-accused-of-taking-explicit-photos

 

This article mentions other incidents at Rutgers.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/25/richard-charles-tuckwell-princeton-charges_n_1912314.html

I find this entire issue fascinating.

 

With the recent advances in technology we may be forced to rethink our ideas and our laws regarding personal privacy. With the development of tiny DVD cameras and cellphone cameras we are going to encounter more and more of this type of behavior. Society seems to be moving toward acceptance of the concept that if one doesn’t physically harm another person virtually any behavior is acceptable. In this case the photographer didn’t physically harm the student thus some would feel that no harm was done and thus there was no fault.

 

A somewhat similar example might be the governmental attitude toward nudity in San Francisco. Many feel that a person is well within his or her rights to walk nude down a street in San Francisco. What about the mother with a young child who objects to exposing her child to such a behavior? The answer given by many would be that if neither the mother nor the child is physically harmed by the nude individual the mother has no right to object.

 

It will certainly be interesting to see how these and other similar situation will be resolved in the future. The old answers just don’t seem to work anymore.

It was Princeton, not Rutgers. Sorry!

I agree with ML on this. My thought also, I would think that it is invasion of privacy. Regardless of what the law says specifically, at the very least it is a rude, inconsiderate, and deplorable behavior, But that's just me.

[Lookin]

Well, hopefully, he won't get tossed out of school and sent back to Australia.

 

But it does seem like he should be disciplined somehow. http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

Can I be of some assistance in this matter?

I'm not understanding why anyone would sleep naked on a stranger's couch. Or was he naked?

There is much in the story, as reported here and published in the linked article, that is left unsaid.

 

Apparently, college kids were out drinking and one of them "fell asleep". (Passed out? Oh, who hasn't?) Generally, when you pass out you don't have enough mental awareness to strip first.

 

There also isn't any definitive information about the photos.

 

Did they go out on a date, end up having sex, and then the kid passed out? That could explain nudity. Did the perp strip his victim? Are the pics of the perp pointing his dick at passed-out-guy? We just don't know.

 

There really isn't enough information to decide how to punish the guy, although since he was released without bail one wonders how much of a crime really took place.
