A Tasmanian woman appeared in court on Monday over allegations that she performed a sex act involving a live brown trout on a boat after video footage of the incident went viral online.

As reported by The Mercury, Catherine June Lee, 58, from the state’s south, appeared in Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday. She is facing three charges under the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Enforcement Act.

One count relates to possessing a bestiality product between February 2022 and January 2023 and two counts for making or reproducing a bestiality product during the same period. Magistrate Marica Duvnjak granted Lee an adjournment until October.

The video in question, which went viral on social media and earned Lee the nickname “Tassie Trout Lady,” showed her lying on a boat while a man allegedly uses a live trout to perform a sexual act on her.

The video sparked significant public outrage and prompted police investigations, leading to the charges against Lee and Hallam. Authorities at the time reminded the public that possessing or distributing the video was a criminal offence.

    I think the public shame is perfect for this shit. Like what the actual fuck? What kind of fetish is that?! Do I think they need to go to jail for this, no. But they shouldn’t be allowed near bodies of water and need to be looked at like this wherever they go
