While Dani has been discussing the case publicly, her victim, who remains anonymous, hasn’t had the chance to speak out until now, with City Attorney Mike Feuer speaking to the Los Angeles Times on her behalf.
Feuer told the paper that the woman has called the experience “humiliating” and that she wishes this painful chapter in her life would close. He also touched upon the restitution Dani was ordered to pay the victim.

“She sought restitution of, like, $60. And people wanted to know afterwards, ‘Why?’ And the answer is, she had to buy a new backpack,” he explained. “Because the photograph depicted her in the shower, her backpack was hanging there, and it was a way people could identify her. She had to replace that with another backpack.”

Feuer also discredited a claim made by Dani on Good Morning America, where she said she has attempted to contact the victim.

“That surprises the victim, who told me she is unaware of any attempt by Ms. Mathers to reach out to her,” he said.
Feuer is committed to protecting people’s privacy in the future, sponsoring a bill that would penalize the distribution of photos that invade a person’s privacy, like this one. Presently the only crime is taking the photo, not disseminating it, like Dani did.
