Lawyers for McKayla Maroney are going after websites reposting and sharing the purported leaked naked photos of the gymnast in the wake of the massive celebrity hacking incident.

An attorney for the Olympic gold medalist, 18, reportedly wrote a letter demanding Porn.com remove any photos of her from its website, saying that the athlete was a minor when they were taken, according to TMZ.

Maroney was one of many celebrity women — including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst and others — who had several compromising photos of them released online from personal cellphones and devices, in a baffling breach of privacy now being investigated by the FBI and Apple Inc.

The Olympic gymnast was one of the youngest women to have been targeted in the attack. Porn.com has removed all photos of Maroney, a rep for the adult hub told TMZ.

Uh.....

1. So, who was the child pornographer who took the photos? n/t

[ManiacJoe]

2. Then there is "distribution" if she sent them to someone.

"Possession" for the recipient.

[ColesCountyDem]

4. Yup. n/t

7. The apple iphone sends your pics/ all uses to their icloud as default.Apple must remove their cloud.

data storage & backup storage should not be attached to their iphone.

[ManiacJoe]

8. True, but storage and distribution are two different things.

3. Could have been a selfie

And sent to no one.

[ColesCountyDem]

5. It's still child porn, under federal law. n/t

[rocktivity]

6. Yep, because after all

even if it was a selfie -- ESPECIALLY if it was a selfie -- you had no business stealing it in the first place.

The stakes just got higher, LOL

9. So, do you want to make a federal case of it?

Not me.

I will assume that it was a private photo meant for an intimate friend, like most of the other photos we've heard about. McKayala wouldn't be the only young lady in America who had a nude photo taken of her with a cell phone py her boyfriend. When I was young and stupid, we didn't have cell phones. All I have is memories, and that is enough.

10. My only question is.....

if you're going to take such a pic, why store it on a hackable device? Print it out and put it in the drawer!

[dougg]

12. or put it in the back of a picture frame

like in the Silence of the Lambs.

No one will find it there, will they?

[Vine Gatherer]

14. Bad Analogy

More apropos would be to blow up the photo and put it in the frame itself, hanging the picture in your living room with drapes wide open, then going on an errand with your house unlocked.

Basically, my message is don't put it where it can be easily stolen.

11. Actually, I was trying to point out how absurd rigid definitions of what 'porn' is are. n/t

13. Who can forget...

[Vine Gatherer]

15. Here are some wholesome, non-hacked photos of McKayla

[Garion_55]

16. she claimed the photos were not her, were faked

so there is no case there if true.

[LisaL]

17. You do realize that according to the OP, her lawyer says photos are of her when she was under age,

or don't you?
If the photos are faked, why would her lawyer be saying this?

[Garion_55]

18. just going by what she herself claimed

either they were faked like she said or they really were her like her lawyer claims.
