Meaning of "private dressing room" in Improper Photograpy Statute Login/Join

Just trying to get indictment language right on a case where step-dad attempts to record step-daughter getting dressed in her bedroom. The statute contemplates crimes involving "bathrooms" and "provate dressing rooms" versus all other areas. I see no definition for "private dressing room." Is the daughter's bedroom a "private dressing room"?

Score another point for our (formerly) highly-regarded, model-of-simplicity Penal Code.

I do not think so. I think "dressing room" refers to places like athletic facitlties at a school, gym or fitness club.

But you can always try a "plain language" argument, in that a dressing room is a room where you commonly get dressed.....and a person's bedroom would certainly fill that requirement.
