Woman sues Yahoo over nude photos
 

PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A woman sued Yahoo Inc. for $3 million, alleging the Internet site failed to fulfill a promise to remove nude pictures of her from the Web.

Cecilia Barnes, 48, in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Multnomah County, claims an ex-boyfriend began posting unauthorized personal profiles of her containing the photos in December. The profiles included her e-mail address and work phone number.

The former boyfriend also engaged in online discussions in Yahoo chat rooms while posing as Barnes and directing men to the profiles, the lawsuit claims.

"Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at plaintiff's work expecting to engage in sexual relations with her," the lawsuit claims.

Barnes sent Yahoo a letter in January saying she did not create the profiles and wanted them removed. Additional attempts to get Yahoo to remove them in February and March did not get a response, the lawsuit claims.

A Yahoo spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company does not comment on pending litigation.



HAHAH CLASSIC :1orglaugh

Classic....... I make fake profiles of my ex-girlfriend.

this will be interesting

Seems like she should be suing the ex-boyfriend. Didn't Paris Hilton have something like this happen to her?

The boyfriend is the one who should be liable as long as Yahoo responded to specific complaints.

Boyfriend probably doesn't have money, Yahoo does :)

I hate it when people post duplicate new stories. DANG!!!!

I'm going for a double post.

How many times will we hear this story and the "what are you doing for the Holiday weekend" questions?

They didn't.

this board does move kind of fast, i hadn't seen it.

How do you know the girl was not really doing it herself. And changed her mind down the road, or planned this from the start for a big lawsuit...

I don't think a email to yahoo helps much in the case of "notfied" did she send a certified letter?

Gonna be fun to see this unfold, but I doubt you hear about it again.

that's pretty fucked up

too funny :1orglaugh

I hope the boyfriend has his 2257 docs in order...

damm good idea...I'm diging up my nudie pics now....w00t w00t

She said Yahoo didn't respond to her requests to have the stuff removed... This makes them negligent... and yes.. the bf should definitely be liable as well...

her & about 1,000 other females on yahoo profiles :1orglaugh

Mmm, milfs...

yup .............that's nasty

:helpme yup .............that's nasty
