Why would anyone want photograph that woman in the buff? Sex with her?
Ugh!

If personality doesn't count, she was quite an attractive young woman.
The issue here is not whether or not you find her appealing, it's that
a serious betrayal of trust took place.

No matter how much she and I dislike each other I have to side with
her, in spite of her lying about the pictures being of her.

It was a cruel thing to do.

Nevertheless, Rich, I was always told when I was growing up (and have continued to
pass on to my kids) that you should never do anything that you might regret later in
life, or if you did, be prepared to accept the consequences of those actions. The
fact that Laura whats-er-name was put into a position of shame (at least as it
relates to her current "moral standards") is a fitting result in counterpoint to her
excessive hypocracy. "Don't do as I did, just do what I say" is exactly the reason
why so many kids end up regretting the consequences of their actions, since it's
natural for them to do precisely what they're told not to do.

There's better ways to raise kids (not that this applies here....I can't imagine any
self-respecting teen would listen to Schlessinger) but the idea that she can sit in
judgement of those who may not share her newly-acquired morality is why, in this
case, humiliation can be good.
