Porn Photos of Laure Manaudou a Sad Statement -- December 18, 2007

PHOENIX, Arizona, December 18. HOW porn photos of Laure Manaudou ended up on the web will be part of a police investigation that will surely have a negative impact on France's superstar swimmer.

Bad judgment seems to be of no shortage in this despicable story. Why Manaudou posed for them in the first place, in what appears to be private matter, is the catalyst. Who uploaded the photos is speculative, but centers around a jilted lover. Where they were first uploaded was possibly illegal in France and the fact that they now reside on a porn site may be a move to avoid legal action.

This is very different from the Playboy photos of Amanda Beard where Beard approved of the exposure. It is impossible to come to the same conclusion surrounding Manaudou and one can only speculate that they were posted there for only one reason – to hurt her.

No links will be provided to supplement this story since doing so would only propagate the sick intentions and goals that the perpetrator(s) intended to inflict on Manaudou. Manaudou certainly cannot be absolved of her original involvement, but let this be a lesson to the Facebook and MySpace generation that Internet photos and videos, innocent or provocative, are never safe in today's Internet world.

December 18, 2007 Nudity and pornography are not the same thing and while it's unfortunate and probably embarrassing to her that these photos were released onto the internet without her permission, it hardly amounts to some kind of moral failing that she needs to "absolve" herself of. They were private photos intended for a private audience. No big deal.

December 18, 2007 I agree 100% with Michelle. Laure is a 21 year old adult and if she wants to pose naked for photos, that's her right.

I've seen the photos and they are no big deal. There are millions of photos on the internet that are a hundred times worse.

Welcome to the 21st Century information age.

Who cares?
