Photo Credit: Splash News / FileSeptember 22, 2008 (Sawf News) - An attempt to peddle stolen private photos of the Spears family, one of which shows Jamie Lynn nursing 3-month-old daughter Maddie with her left breast exposed, has triggered a federal pornography investigation.
The investigation involves 12 photos showing Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie, baby daddy Casey Aldridge and Lynne Spears, reports TMZ.
Included in the set is also a photo of Jamie Lynn holding Maddie wearing a negligee.
The photos were taken on Aldridge's digital camera and are believed to have been stolen when he took the camera memory card to the local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for printing.
Since Jamie Lynn is a minor selling her photo with an exposed breast for lurid purposes would constitute a violation of federal pornography laws, both for the seller and buyer of the photo.
Anyone purchasing the photos would also need to contend with the charge of dealing in stolen property.
Even as federal and local authorities go after the man who is attempting to peddle the photos, Britney's lawyers are contemplating a lawsuit against Wal-Mart.
