You are fine assuming the person uploading the pics is the person in the pics.
If it's pictures from a boyfriend, jilted lover, thief, stolen pictures off a site, or the pictures are of an under age girl (I defy you to tell the difference between a 16 and 20 year old, RIGHT EVERYTIME).
Or the girls, Dad, Uncle, brother, neightbor find them and she swears they were stolen and just posted up on the net without her knowledge.
Then I suggest you need to get a good attorney now.
I do not believe you guys, are you really living in the US? The US is litigation mad, there are attorneys out there looking for any excuse to sue. Recently a big magazine company were sued because they were stupid enough to have only an English model release on a Hungarian girl. The lawyer said she did not understand. Cost them $50,000 to get rid of them both.
So I suggest you go right ahead with your plans they sound really good to me. Should be a great niche. FOR ATTORNEYS.

Of course you have no way of knowing who uploads a pic. I'm just curious how Friendfinder, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and all the other thousands of dating and other sites on the net that let you upload a pic get a away with it? Of course I would have a lawyer look over anything of this nature but there is obviously something you can do to protect yourself. Yahoo is flooded with copywrited pics, underage pics, etc. In fact a couple of years ago with the big CP bust from a Yahoo club the FBI had told Yahoo to leave the club open so they could get names of everyone that joined. Did Yahoo get in any major trouble? No, they didn't put the pics there. My point is there is definately some way of covering your ass and I was hoping someone had dealt with this before.
I don't want photos that shouldn't be on my site to be there so of course I would police it and respond to any complaints. I simply asked how sites that allow this do it. Being that there are several dating site owners that post here I figured it would be a good place.
I'm sure someone knows. Pardon me for asking.
