A shock sentence creates anger and protests in Spain. In fact, a Spanish judge has to file a case concerning dozens of women who discovered that they were filmed as they were taking a break to go to the bathroom during a popular festival in San Cibrao, Galicia. The episode dates back to August 2019: the victims said they only later learned that they had been filmed, while they were secluded in an alley due to the unavailability of sufficient public toilets, by various cameras strategically installed and without their knowledge. They later learned that the images had been circulated on porn websites.
