Very private photos of Jamie Lynn Spears and family stolen – Feds hunt perpetrator

Apparently some opportunistic slimeball stole photos of Jamie Lynn Spears family, but is in big trouble now. Federal and local authorities are on the hunt for someone peddling 12 pictures of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and Casey Aldridge.
The pics were taken on Casey’s digital camera. Supposedly he took the camera card to his local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for copies. Law enforcement believes someone at the Wal-Mart may have made extra copies, then tried selling them. One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn breast feeding Maddie — Jamie Lynn’s left breast is exposed.

Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pictures, or buying them, could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting child pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor’s breast even if not taken for sexual purposes could land the seller and the buyer in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the pictures could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property.

Other pictures in the set include Britney holding the baby and one of Jamie Lynn, Britney, Brian (the Spears brother), Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears around Jamie Lynn’s hospital bed. There are also pictures of Maddie by herself, and there’s a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby.

Aside from the hunt for the responsible party, TMZ reports Britney’s lawyers are thinking about going after Wal-Mart for the alleged security breach. Of course it hasn’t been proven that a Wal-Mart employee is responsible, but with the way things are these days it would probably be wise for the Spears family to buy themselves a printer and print the pictures at home.
