AMPFING, GERMANY — A German porn star will argue in court this week that stripping in front of a webcam counts as working from home.
Natalie Hot, 24, is defending her right to work as a webcam girl from her house in a the small Bavarian town of Ampfing after neighbors complained that her chosen profession contravenes zoning laws that ban commercial use of a residential property.
Some neighbors complained Hot was too noisy and that their children were teased at school for living near a porn star, the Local reported.
So local authorities slapped Hot with a ban. If she fails to win in court, she’ll face a 2,000-euro fine the next time she strips.
Hot claims that her front door was broken by angry neighbors, who have also signed a petition against her.
Local authorities previously ruled that being a webcam girl doesn’t qualify as remote work because the spare bedroom used by Hot is an independent commercial unit.
So now it’s up to a judge to decide if the bedroom counts as a home office, which would allow Hot to carry on gettin’ her freak on in front of the camera.
