Los Angeles Prosecutors Charge Body-Shaming Playboy Model

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Nov, 2016 12:05 PM

Los Angeles prosecutors have charged a Playboy model who took a photo of a naked woman in a gym locker room and posted it to social media with insulting comments about the woman's body.

The city attorney's office said Friday that Dani Mathers faces a misdemeanour count of invasion of privacy. She is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 28. It wasn't immediately known if Mathers has an attorney.

The 29-year-old faced widespread criticism after she shared the photo on Snapchat in July with the caption: "If I can't unsee this then you can't either." She later apologized and deleted her social media accounts.

The gym reported the posting to police and revoked Mathers' membership.

City News Service says Mathers could face up to six months in jail and a fine.

Demand For Low-End Smartphones Is On The Rise As Some Customers Favour Price Over Brand

It might seem as though everyone has an iPhone or Galaxy smartphone. But many customers are eschewing the best cameras and screens — and their top-end price tags — and choosing models that can get the job done at less than a third of the cost.
