this seems to be the shot in question and it is form a photo shoot she was doing.


At 17, Cyrus is still considered a minor, and the posting of the photo could legally constitute child pornography. Though Hilton pulled the photo down from his server, it was there long enough for many sites to take screengrabs of it.
?We?re not talking about a misdemeanor. You don?t have to know what the definition of the law is, all you have to do is knowingly distribute the photograph,? Los Angeles-based attorney Jeffrey Douglas told Salon. He went on to call Hilton?s decision to post the photo ?suicidal.?
While some are asserting that the photo was doctored to falsely portray Cyrus as not wearing underwear, experts insist it likely won?t matter. Whether she was or wasn?t, the photo that Hilton posted would still fall under child pornography laws.
?That is still a crime and it is punishable just the same,? Douglas told Salon.
