Who nicked private pics of Jamie Lynn Spears feeding her baby?
Anyone seen any photos of Jamie Lynn Spears breast-feeding little Maddie?
Well, do not buy them. In fact, do not even glance at them.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that they're hunting for someone stupid enough to try to sell 12 pics of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and Casey Aldridge, the baby's father, that were swiped from/copied at a Louisiana Wal-Mart.
One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn, still a minor at 17, breast-feeding her baby, and her left breast is exposed. The stolen photo has triggered a federal pornography investigation, according to Fox News.
This is much worse than Miley Cyrus' exposed back in Vanity Fair, folks. And you know what a media storm that stirred up.
Word is that the pics were on Casey's digital camera. He took the memory stick to the local Wal-Mart for prints. Sources say someone at the Wal-Mart may have made a few extra copies in hopes of making a bundle.
Little did they realize that (a) it would be pretty easy to figure out who did it and (b) because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling or buying the photos would be against federal pornography laws. Peddling pictures of a minor's breast could put the seller and buyer in cozy cells in a federal pen.
Also, a buyer could be prosecuted for receiving stolen property.
Britney's lawyers are considering suing Wal-Mart for a security breach.
How about having a talk with Casey about investing in a home desktop color photo printer? They actually give those things away now with computer purchases.

The TMZ story is false and based on a misunderstanding of federal laws!
Breast exposure, without more, is NOT ILLEGAL according to American federal child porn law. It doesn't matter what the purpose or intent of the picture is. If there is no lascivious exhibition of the pubic region, and no sexual act, it is legal. Breast feeding is not a sexual act.
If it had been illegal, then Casey would have been in trouble for MAKING the picture in the first place!
And the following three Hollywood films made in California that show minor actresses exposing their breasts would be illegal too. But they aren't.
Thora Birch - 16 years old in "American Beauty"
Angelina Jolie - 17 years old in "Cyborg 2" - made in Los Angeles itself
Cristi Harris - 16 years old in "Night of the Demons 2" - made in Los Angeles itself
