Criminal Law, 2013 Bar — Question MC-XIV

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Amelia, a famous actress, bought the penthouse unit of a posh condominium building in Taguig City. Every night, Amelia would swim naked in the private, but open air, pool of her penthouse unit. It must have been obvious to Amelia that she could be seen from nearby buildings. In fact, some residents occupying the higher floors of the nearby residential buildings did indeed entertain themselves and their friends by watching her swim in the nude from their windows. What crime did Amelia commit? (A) Alarms and scandals because her act of swimming naked disturbs the public tranquility. (B) Grave scandal because she committed highly scandalous acts that are offensive to decency or good customs. (C) Immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions, and indecent shows under Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code, because her act of swimming naked is akin to an indecent live show. (D) Amelia did not commit any crime because the swimming pool is located in her private home.
