Maximum penalty, no.

So a slap in the wrist is enough penalty for 1) installing a hidden camera for the very blatant purpose of spying on the roommate, and knowing that there will be a little something extra on the side; 2) publicly broadcasting that video with the sole intent of humiliation?

I don't know the law very well, but I'd have to imagine that there is plenty of precedent for cases identical to this (minus the suicide)?
