The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Söderman v. Sweden that Sweden violated Article 8 (right to respect for private life) of the European Convention on Human Rights when it failed to protect a minor against a violation of her personal integrity.  According to the press release, Eliza Söderman, who in 2002 was fourteen years old, had been secretly filmed naked by her stepfather.  Her stepfather was ultimately acquitted of charges of sexual molestation by a Swedish appeals court on the grounds that the molestation provision did not cover the act and that Swedish law did not generally prohibit the filming of an individual without his or her consent.  The Grand Chamber ruled that the act committed by Söderman’s “stepfather had violated [Söderman’s] integrity and had been aggravated by the fact that she was a minor, that the incident took place in her home, and that the offender was a person whom she was entitled and expected to trust.”  The Court held that Sweden was to pay Söderman €10,000 in nonpecuniary damages and €29,700 in costs and expenses.
