Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 7:36 PM Woman sues Yahoo over nude photos
Friday, May 27, 2005 Posted: 9:40 AM EDT (1340 GMT) PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A woman sued Yahoo Inc. for $3 million, alleging the Internet site failed to fulfill a promise to remove nude pictures of her from the Web. Cecilia Barnes, 48, in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Multnomah County, claims an ex-boyfriend began posting unauthorized personal profiles of her containing the photos in December. The profiles included her e-mail address and work phone number. The former boyfriend also engaged in online discussions in Yahoo chat rooms while posing as Barnes and directing men to the profiles, the lawsuit claims. "Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at plaintiff's work expecting to engage in sexual relations with her," the lawsuit claims. Barnes sent Yahoo a letter in January saying she did not create the profiles and wanted them removed. Additional attempts to get Yahoo to remove them in February and March did not get a response, the lawsuit claims. A Yahoo spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company does not comment on pending litigation. —Masteel |

Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 8:59 PM I'm sure she called her lawyer and asked if she could sue the internet. —Villalovos |

Thursday, June 2, 2005 at 6:03 AM Internet would be a bigger windfall and more likely to settle than the tool she was dating, so of course the sleazy lawyer is going to go after the big fish and make a name for himself. Idiots and their frivolous or wrongly directed lawsuits. —Beat It! |

Thursday, June 2, 2005 at 12:05 PM She's legit. She has been vetted and then testified before the Oregon legislature. It's an interesting case--if she wins watch for falling Yahoo stock. —bguirk |

Thursday, June 2, 2005 at 2:18 PM I wonder how many people on the board have made a video, or pictures with their significant others at some point in time. And what happened to the videos/pics after the break up? Dangerous territory, that. —Masteel |
