Authorities in Los Angeles have tracked down the woman body-shamed by Playboy's 2015 Playmate of the Year in a Snapchat that went out over the summer.
Investigators confirmed Monday to ABC News that the woman seen in a photo shared by model Dani Mathers has been identified.
"We did receive the case from the LAPD, it's currently under review from our office," the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office told the news station. "We will be making a final decision soon, but there's no timetable at this point."
The woman has not been publicly identified.
Mathers, 29, was roundly criticized in July after she took a photo of an unsuspecting woman in a locker room at an LA Fitness and shared it on Snapchat.
Capt. Andrew Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Department told the Los Angeles Times in July that a criminal investigation was opened after LA Fitness officials reported the image as "illegal distribution."
"If I can't unsee this then you can't either," Mathers wrote on the photo. She also posted a photo of herself covering her mouth in apparent disgust.
In response, LA Fitness banned Mathers from all LA Fitness locations nationwide.
"Her behavior is appalling and puts every member at risk of losing their privacy," said Jill Greuling, LA Fitness' executive vice president of operations. "Our written rules are very clear: Cellphone usage and photography are prohibited in the locker rooms. This is not only our rule, but common decency."
Mathers later apologized on Twitter and Snapchat.
"I have chosen to do what I do for a living because I love the female body and I know that body shaming is wrong and that's not what I'm about," she said. "That photo was taken to be part of a personal conversation with a girlfriend and because I am new to Snapchat, I really didn't realize that I had posted it and that was a huge mistake."
