This harmless picture of a woman in a bikini has sparked outrage

THIS BUSTY judge has thrown off her robes and posted saucy online snaps that have landed her in hot water.

Maria Cozma, 27, sparked a social media frenzy by posting pictures of herself in a bikini on her timeline.

While the images appear to be perfectly innocent the brunette has come in for criticism in her native Moldova.

A spokesman for the society of judges said: "We are supposed to be a respected and serious body, not titillation for criminals and the Twitterrati.

"Unfortunately, because of who her family is, there's not much we can do."

Ms Cozma is the granddaughter of Moldova's President of the Supreme Justice Court.

Women's groups have also been outraged by the picture.

Natalia Cebotari, 32, from a parliamentary group set up to look at equality for women, said: "She has done very well to get where she has, but one can’t help feel that by showing off her body like this, she is encouraging other women to flaunt what they have if they want to get ahead.

"No one is saying that this is what she did, but it could give out the wrong impression."
