Caroline Werner’s topless walking video goes viral 

The incident happened back in May when Caroline Werner was spotted walking her dog being topless on the beach in Balneário Camboriú, a coastal city in the south of Brazil.

Upon asking about her action, she stated- “Unfortunately in my country, even though the Constitution ensures gender equality, in practice this does not happen.”

In the country of Brazil, Article 233 of the Penal Code states that- “performing an obscene act in a public place, either open or exposed to the public is a offence.” However, it should be noted that the “obscene act” is not specifically defined. If she was found guilty then she could face three months to a year in prison.

The Santa Catarina State Prosecutor’s office which is handling her case has offered the model a plea deal but as per news reports, she didn’t come at the hearing. Whereas her lawyers claimed that weren’t notified about the hearing and are currently requesting a new date.
