LAND O'LAKES -- A state investigation has concluded a nudist who sold videos of naked elementary-age girls didn't break the law.
Walt Zadanoff, former president of the country's largest nudist organization, said he is satisfied with his exoneration by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement but his reputation has been ruined.
Gov. Jeb Bush's office ordered an investigation of Zadanoff after U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-West Palm Beach, lambasted the 68-year-old nudist for peddling videos on the Internet of naked child beauty pageants shot in Europe.
Law enforcement authorities told the governor because the videos show no sex, they are legal.
``As much as we look at his activities with a little bit of disdain, there are no Florida statutes Mr. Zadanoff violated,'' said Rick Morera, spokesman for the state investigators' Tampa office.
Foley wants the law to change. He has sponsored a bill called the ``Child Modeling Exploitation Prevention Act'' that would outlaw the videos Zadanoff sold.
Just because the state cleared Zadanoff doesn't mean he's not exploiting children, Foley spokesman Chris Paulitz said. Foley himself called the videos, which feature full-frontal nudity, a ``fix for pedophiles.''
Fearing bad publicity, nudist groups, including some of the clothes-free resorts that are Land O'Lakes' biggest industry, have suggested Zadanoff stay away.
Zadanoff has maintained the videos are ``information and entertainment for a legitimate nudist,'' though he said it's impossible to screen pedophiles from buying.
