Ok but like
I'm 90% sure that camera girl must've stalked them. Which I'm pretty sure is a crime. The justice person convicting someone as a criminal using evidence which they acquired via criminal means.
So right now, she'd probably fall within the realm of like a paparazzo. Stalking has a few requirements of threats to safety, so otherwise following people is technically legal unless they become aware and therefor fearful of your presence, or you ignore warnings from police.
So, she "stalked" her but likely does not meet the legal threshold for it to be actionable. The intimate photos though are a different matter. It'll depend on Japanese law but those photos I believe were ones taken at an apartment / hotel which generally carries an expectation of privacy so taking photos may implicate camera girl in trespassing if she had to get onto private property to do so. If the curtains were open and she could take the photos from public grounds she may still be legally clear (this is jurisdictional in the states, no clue about Japan).
TL;DR - Camera girl is in a morally grey area, but likely legally fine. Depends on Japanese law which I'm not familiar with and finding an English translation of the Japanese legal code would take a bit more work.
Not to defend her though, camera girl is being a weirdo, but she likley isn't a complete hypocite atm but again, no expert on Japanese crim/civ law.
