Activist Carla Galeote It has become a viral phenomenon on social networks. But not because of her work as an author, influencer or law graduate, but because of a video that she has published in which you can see his neighbor masturbating at home.
A video that she herself posted on social networks as a criticism of the attitude of the 70-year-old man.
“He was touching himself. “What’s wrong with the gentlemen of this country?” criticizes the influencer in the video, which quickly went viral. “Enough, leave the women.”
However, the video soon turned against Carla Galeote. And, despite the fact that she sought to denounce the apparent harassing attitude of her neighbor, the truth is that the images have ended up acting against her.
And social networks have turned to criticism against the influencer, who shortly after deleted the video from her profile. Too late for it to go unnoticed. Also in the face of the judicial repercussions that it may have.
“I would think that by deleting it I could free myself from retaliation,” he said, in conversations with Confilegallawyer Emilia Zaballos, managing partner of the Zaballos Abogados law firm.
However, the lawyer makes it clear: “the diffusion is unstoppable.” Something that has been verified on these networks, where many users have republished the video through their own public profiles.
Carla Galeote’s viral video could end in a prison sentence
“No favors have been done,” says Emilia Zaballos in reference to the influencer. And, although he has gained hundreds of followers after publishing this video, this being a “notable benefit”, the truth is that the consequences are yet to come. Especially since her neighbor is “perfectly identifiable” through the video.
Thus, according to the lawyer, this video could make Galeote face a crime of “serious injuries.” «It is a brutal lack of respect. And it has been done recklessly,” he says in conversations with Confilegal.

A matter in which “Video advertising is a fundamental aspect.” And Carla Galeote’s “dissemination capacity” through social networks is decisive. Without forgetting that the video has sexual content.
Crime of serious insults for which the influencer could face a prison sentence of six to fourteen months in prison, the lawyer leaning towards the latter figure.
In addition, civil liability derived from these events would also weigh on the activist. A responsibility that varies depending on the impact of the video on the life of her neighbor.
«She has gained followers. But he may encounter threats, insults… he may lose his job, or have his partner leave him. These are damages that have to be proven if a complaint occurs,” Zaballos highlights.
Lawyer who also highlights a second, even more serious crime that Galeote could have committed. “For me, there is a serious crime of revealing secrets,” she says.
“He has captured an image without consent, in a very intimate act, and inside a home, which is a private and intimate area,” remember the lawyer. And all this, giving it wide dissemination, and obtaining profit from it. Something that could mean between 3 and 5 years in prison.
Viral video that, for the lawyer, must have a forceful response. “It has to be an exemplary case”, he assured. “Getting followers and media impact cannot be at any price.”
