Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Brazilian model, Caroline Werner, exposed her naked boobs as she got arrested while taking a walk with her dog.
Caroline Werner, 37, has lashed out at Brazil’s ‘patriarchal, violent culture’ which belies its easy-going image and would not prosecute a man for the same offence.
The businesswoman, who owns her bikini brand, says she was roughed up by police and chained to the bars of her prison cell after she was seized by the Municipal Guard while walking her dog in the southern city of Balneário Camboriú.
‘Unfortunately, in my country even though the Constitution ensures gender equality, in practice this does not happen,’ Werner told Brazilian news outlet G1.
‘What should be normal for both genders ends up being denied to one of them in an arbitrary and repressive manner.’
She said: “In many countries, it is a completely normal practice. A woman’s body is not objectified and hypersexualised.
“Unfortunately in my country, even though the Constitution ensures gender equality, in practice, this does not happen, I cannot have the same freedom and I feel coerced into doing so by this system and the repressive interpretation of the law.
“What should be natural for both genders ends up being denied to one of them in an arbitrary and repressive manner.”
Werner, who runs her own bikini company, recalled the day she was arrested, saying that it was an impulsive decision.
“I was on the beach walking the dogs, when I decided to go topless,” she said. “When crossing the street to drop off the dogs, I was approached by the Municipal Guard in a completely arbitrary and disproportionate way.”
Werner received a summons for ‘committing an obscene act’ after removing her shirt at a beach and tying it around her waist before she started walking her dogs in May this year.
Article 233 of the Penal Code describes the charge as ‘performing an obscene act in a public place, either open or exposed to the public.’
However, the law does not define an ‘obscene act.’
‘When crossing the street to leave the dogs, I was approached by the Municipal Guard in a completely arbitrary and disproportionate way,’ Werner said. ‘They arrived already putting my hands behind me and handcuffing me.’
The cops provided a blouse for Werner to cover her breasts, took her to a police station and left her handcuffed against metal bars in the ‘dark’ jail cell.
