It’s quite possibly the world’s most notorious Snapchat: a cruel and invasive video of an unsuspecting woman showering in an LA gym, caught on camera and shared with the world via Playboy’s Playmate of 2015, Dani Mathers.

Now, a trial date has been set for Mathers, 30, who is being charged with misdemeanour and invasion of privacy after the Snapchat of the 70-year-old woman was “accidentally” set to Stories instead of sent privately in November 2016. The offending Snap pictured the woman showering spliced with a selfie of Mathers looking horrified and the caption, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either.”
On Monday, Los Angeles judge Gustavo Sztraicher denied Mather’s defense motion, which claimed that the privacy law she is charged with is too vague, NY Daily News reports.
Mathers publicly apologised last year in the midst of savage social media backlash, later deleting her social media accounts.
“That was absolutely wrong and not what I meant to do,” she said in the apology video. “I know that body-shaming is wrong. That is not the type of person I am.”
Mathers will face the court on May 26.
