My friend has a myspace page were he allows myspace users to post pictures and comments on his page of females in compromising positions. The females have no idea, and it's pretty big in my area. He tells me that he can't get sued becasue he's not the one posting the pictures, but I'm not so sure about that. Most of the ladies are in high school or a year out of high school, and a lot of people will see them. One girl said she will sue him, but he says she can't because she has to deal with the guy that posted the pictures of her, not him.

He claims that he isn't doing anything, but putting people "on blast." I don't agree with what he;s doing. I'm just considered about the legal issues.

He can't get sued, he'll be ARRESTED. You said "high school" girls which would be considered minors. The charges would probably be "child pornography" which is a very serious crime. What is the deal with your friend? What is he getting out of it?

Tell your friend any good lawyer can take him to court in a heartbeat. If he has control over the content of his MySpace page and he does not delete these content, then he can be sued based on that. Of course the posters can be sued also.
But where are the damages from the girls' point of view?

He's wrong. You can sue anyone for pretty much anything and if a jury decides she gets the money she will. My bet is your friends is screwed. Not only that but if the girls are under 18 he will go to jail as a sex offender. You are legally responsible for ANY content that is on your site that contains pictures of children under 18.

Your friend is an idiot. He can get sued, right along with the people who post on his page. He is promoting this nasty idea and asking for a lot of trouble.

Of course he can get sued especially since they're in high school and under 18. Why is he doing that anyways?

Of course people can sue him. You do not have to prove anything to file a lawsuit. They also might win.
To be protected he would have to show he has no control of the content, took down content that violated the law and was not in a position to screen content.

If the girls in the photo are still minors then that is definately against the law, but otherwise, no. They posed for the photos and were aware that they were being taken.

Uhhhh.... I doubt it. As long as the females aren't underage.
There was a girl I went to school with, she sent a pic to this guy naked and he sent the pic to EVERYONE else. She called the cops and they were just like, there's nothing that they can do about it. All they'll probably do is have the myspace page removed.
