Playboy Playmate Dani Mathers was criminally charged Friday with secretly photographing a 70-year-old woman while she was in the shower at a Los Angeles health club and posting the photo to Snapchat.
Mathers, 29, was charged with one count of invasion of privacy. If convicted she could face six months in jail and a $1,000 file.
In July, Mathers allegedly used her cell phone to surreptitiously take a nude picture of a woman in the shower/locker area of a local LA Fitness health club. The photograph was later allegedly uploaded to Mather’s Snapchat account – along with comments about the woman’s appearance and a picture of Mathers covering her mouth.
"Body shaming is humiliating, with often painful, long-term consequences,” said Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feur in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “It mocks and stigmatizes its victims, tearing down self-respect and perpetuating the harmful idea that our unique physical appearances should be compared to air-brushed notions of 'perfect.' What really matters is our character and humanity," said Feuer. "While body-shaming, in itself, is not a crime, there are circumstances in which invading one's privacy to accomplish it can be. And we shouldn’t tolerate that."
Mathers’ arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 28.
