Walking around in your underwear is not in itself a legal offense in British law, but it can easily become one if the person’s genitals are visible or if there’s proven intent by the offender to draw public attention to their parts for sexual gratification or to offend someone.
The UK’s Sexual Offences Act 2003 states that indecent exposure can only be considered if a person “intentionally exposes their genitals and intends for someone to see them, with the express purpose of causing distress.”

Article nº 185 of Spain’s penal code is even more specific, and it states that “anyone who executes or causes another person to perform acts of obscene exhibition before minors or disabled individuals, will be punished with a prison sentence of six months to one year.”
This means that Lopez’s antics, while scandalous, wouldn’t result in her being incarcerated, as her genitals are not shown at any point in her videos and intent remains difficult to prove.

However, the specific establishments, where her “donations” have been left, could pursue legal action against the influencer.
For example, Mercadona, the supermarket chain featured in the viral clip, is reportedly evaluating taking action against Lopez, according to Infobae, but no further details have been divulged.
