A Tasmanian woman accused of participating in a sex act involving a live brown trout on a boat has appeared in court for the first time since the incident went viral online.
Catherine June Lee, 58, from the state’s south, fronted 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 Mercury reports.
Her co-accused, Ashley David Hallam, 55, appeared in court earlier this year in May.
He has yet to enter pleas to his charges, which include two counts of making or reproducing a bestiality product and three counts of possessing a bestiality product.
The video in question, which went viral internationally, shows a woman 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 is a criminal offence.
