Identified as Marina, she was accused of sexual exhibitionism by police.
AURILLAC: Residents and summer visitors to a picturesque town in southern France have rallied to support a woman who faces prosecution after walking through its streets topless in a furor over the right to bare skin.But she said she was walking topless in Aurillac, central France, because it was hot at the height of a summer heatwave, and men have the right to do the same.
Marina explained her choice to the local media on Thursday, saying she had been “super hot” and wanted to do as “half the men” did that day, “who no T-shirts on”.The demonstration on Saturday had begun peacefully but then degenerated as some protesters burned French flags in front of the town court, with some breaking inside and starting a fire, authorities said.Mathonier said he backed the woman’s cause but expressed dismay over the damage done by some of the protesters.
He added that “the ransacking of the court is inadmissible; it tarnishes the image of the Republic and the festival”.
