Court Rules On Wet T-Shirt Pics Of Teen
Woman Can't Sue Over Internet Photos

ATLANTA -- The federal appeals court in Atlanta said a woman who took part in sexually explicit contests at a Daytona Beach hotel two months shy of her 18th birthday cannot sue over Internet images of her, even though she was a minor.

According to court documents, Julie Amanda Tilton participated in two wet T-shirt contests observed by 300 to 400 people, many with video cameras, at The Desert Inn during spring break in March 2001.

A federal judge rejected Tilton's claim she was a sexually exploited minor, saying she failed to prove the photos harmed her.

A three-judge panel upheld that ruling Thursday but reversed denial of attorney fees to Tilton from a photographer.

1. In this age, if you do something in public, assume it's being taped

and could very well end up on the internet.

5. How can the public be expected to judge this case for themselves

without handy links to the pictures in question? This is a failure of journalism.
