In a sense, yes.
Usually they phrase it like "sharing in their most intimate moments" but without consent that's just an innocuous way of saying exactly your first reaction.
In some ways, its related to loneliness, filling a need they haven't filled other ways.
the same reason anybody ever has a kink.
Scratches a particular itch, in this case it just happens to be extremely illegal, unlike most kinks.
Upskirts, peepingtoms, spy cameras, rape… it’s about non-consent and if I remember one of my college classes chapters, a sense of power over others. It’s a mental illness and needs treatment, but here in Murica, we just put people in jail.
Eeehhhh, I'm kinda OK with this guy being excused from general society for a bit. I'd prefer he had the chance to learn how to be a better human (like the Nordic countries' models), but I can hope and vote for those changes while he's in time out.
Yeah, sorry it was meant to be implied but not said. He committed a crime, strong punishment and lifetime tracking is fine.
