Angie Varona
|
According to Gawker, Varona's story began when she was 14 and hackers broke into her Photobucket account. There they found a stash of private pictures that Varona says she took for her boyfriend. In many, Varona was posing provocatively in swimwear and lingerie. Not the kind of picture you'd want your teenage daughter to be taking. But in the age of sexting, camera phones, and Facebook, it's not an uncommon activity among teens.
The photos became popular among circles that like to exchange pictures of barely clothed "jailbait," i.e. underage girls. Not quite kiddy porn but not quite innocent. Men traded files of hundreds of pictures of Varona. A Google image search of her name reveals more than 40,200 results. An unauthorized Facebook fan group has more than 24,000 likes.
Varona recounted her story this summer in Miami Montage, a publication put together by high school journalism students at a University of Miami summer program.
