A woman who travels Europe inviting complete strangers to touch her genitals as an 'expression of art' was arrested in Trafalgar Square.

Performance artist Milo Moire had been in London promoting her 'Mirror Box' show - in which she offers members of the public the chance to feel breasts or genitals for thirty seconds.

But she was arrested by police following a complaint from a passer-by clearly unimpressed with her routine.

A woman who travels Europe inviting complete strangers to touch her genitals as an 'expression of art' was arrested in Trafalgar Square

Performance artist Milo Moire had been in London promoting her 'Mirror Box' show - in which she offers members of the public the chance to feel breasts or genitals for thirty seconds

And this is not the first time the controversial Swiss artist has fallen foul of the law.

On previous occasions, the artist's antics have seen her walk around a museum carrying a baby, pose for selfies with tourists in front of the Eiffel Tower, and protesting in Cologne - all while naked.

She was arrested today in one of London's most famous landmarks after inviting strangers to fondle her genitals.

The concept of her routine - which she has also taken to Dusseldorf and Amsterdam - was to promote women's rights not to be touched.

She offers people over the age of 18 the opportunity to touch her breasts or genitals while she uses a stopwatch to time them.

Ms Moire told the Mirror Online police warned her she was breaking the law, before arresting her and taking her to court.

She added other countries in Europe had a more liberal and accepting approach to her 'show'.

'In Amsterdam it was very different - they are more free towards sexuality,' she said.

Both men and woman are invited to participate in her act, which she says is to highlight 'women's rights, sexual self-determination'

She adds: 'Women have a sexuality, just like men have one. 'However, women decide for themselves when and how they want to be touched and when they don't'

'But in London it was more strict - too strict I think. They don't understand this form of performance.'

She also said her audience in London were 'very interested': 'Then some mothers called the police I think because they felt offended.

'It won't stop me. It is a risk, but it is a risk I am willing to take.'

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police confirmed officers were called to Trafalgar Square on Sunday evening following a complaint from a member of the public, adding a woman had been charged with outraging public decency.

She appeared in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court and pleaded guilty.

She was fined £750, and ordered to pay £85 costs and a victim surcharge of £75.

In January this year, Ms Moire held a sign reading: 'Respect us! We are no fair game even when we are naked!!!' as she staged a protest naked in front of Cologne cathedral.

In July last year, the artist was arrested while posing for naked selfies with tourists in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Police told Ms Moiré to put her clothes on and she spent the night in prison in Paris for public indecency.

And in February 2015, red-faced visitors were left stunned as the brunette sauntered around the LWL Museum for Art and Culture in the town of Munster in north-west Germany as part of her 'Naked Life' exhibition, which saw her stripping off to express her art.
