She said she didn't know who was buying pictures and videos of her daughter because she had no face-to-face interaction with customers.

"There's so much smut on the Internet, we're completely on the opposite end of that," said the mother, who refused to give her name, referring to herself instead as "Jessi's mommy." The mother of "Jessi The Kid" insists her daughter's site is geared toward other children, and that her daughter enjoys planning the themes for the photo and video shoots. "Why else would someone pay to see kids in their underwear?" she asked. "These (girl-model) sites may be their way of getting around the law. "It's getting harder for pedophiles to function on the Internet," said Julie Posey, the director of Pedowatch. Groups such as Cyberangels and Pedowatch have picked up the slack by enlisting thousands of volunteers across the globe to scan the Internet for lurid images of children. The number of cases opened by the agency's Innocent Images National Initiative jumped 1,264 percent between 19, according to the FBI's website. The FBI, which declined to be interviewed for this story, is having a hard time keeping tabs on all the could-be child porn that is distributed over the Internet. "The girls model for each other, do each other's hair. Consider Tiffany Teen Model, where for $75, customers can purchase a this video of the 13-year-old and a friend cavorting in thong underwear. Some of the Webe Web images certainly push the arousal envelope, Aftab said. "Whatever any of these websites original intent might have been, it is pretty clear that they have been (put) up for an audience with pedophilic leanings," Sturges wrote. Sturges, reached by e-mail at a photo shoot in France, looked over the Webe Web sites and concluded that their purpose was less than innocent. Meanwhile, controversial photographer Jock Sturges continues to sell photographs of nude children despite an FBI raid, pickets by angry mobs and a grand jury investigation. It was the first such conviction dealing with this issue in which the genitals were not exposed. In a landmark 1995 case, a Pennsylvania man was sentenced to jail for possessing videotapes of young girls posing provocatively in skimpy clothing. While the law explicitly prohibits images of minors engaged in real or simulated sex, it also forbids depictions of children designed to elicit sexual arousal. "This is utterly and absolutely distasteful, and I think it would invoke child abuse, but it's probably not illegal," said Aftab. However, following revelations that some of the images may constitute child pornography, a moderator has warned that any images featuring Maroney or Lee "will be immediately removed".The images on sites such as Lil' Amber fall into a murky legal area, said Parry Aftab, a lawyer and the director of Cyberangels, an Internet safety and education group.

The hacked photographs were originally thought to have been posted on a "deep web" forum a week ago, but it was only when the images were subsequently uploaded to the 4chan anonymous image-sharing forum on Sunday that they were circulated widely.Īccording to online news organisation The Daily Dot, the Reddit community r/TheFappening has become the main hub for sharing the stolen photographs, because Reddit is one of the few mainstream websites that is not deleting links to the photos.

The images so far released online are believed to represent only a fraction of a vast archive of explicit photographs that a group of hackers has been amassing for months, possibly by compromising the stars' iCloud accounts. But her lawyer has reportedly sent a letter to several pornography sites that have reposted the images, demanding that they remove them because Maroney was underage in several of them. Maroney, an Olympic gold medallist and world champion gymnast, tweeted that the photos of her posted online this week were "fake".
