Larry Flynt Claims to Possess Nude Photos of Jessica Lynch NEW YORK - Pornographer Larry Flynt claims he bought nude photos of Pfc. Jessica Lynch last month to publish in Hustler magazine, but changed his mind because she is a "good kid ... and a victim of the Bush administration." The photos, which Flynt's publicist says show the undressed Army supply clerk posing with male soldiers, were sold to Flynt last month, according to a statement from Flynt that was read to The Associated Press on Tuesday by his publicist. The publicist, who would not give her name, said Flynt "has no plans to use the photos." "Jessica Lynch is a good kid, she's not a hypocrite or out to fool anyone," Flynt's statement said. "She's just a victim of the Bush administration, who is using her to justify the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and force-feed us a Joan of Arc." In an interview with the AP on Tuesday, Lynch declined to comment on any aspect of the matter, including whether such photos exist. The interview was scheduled to publicize her biography, "I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story," which was released Tuesday. It covers the days between March 23, when her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in Nasiriyah, Iraq, and April 1, when she was evacuated from a hospital by U.S. commandos. After her rescue, the young soldier from Palestine, W.Va., was celebrated as a hero prisoner of war. Published reports Tuesday said the photos showed Lynch topless, but Flynt's publicist claimed the former soldier is nude in the pictures. "At this point Mr. Flynt has no comment as to the content of the photographs except to say Jessica Lynch is not wearing any clothes in them," she said. Flynt's publicist would not say how much the publisher paid for the pictures, or who sold them. Flynt has been in a wheelchair since an assassination attempt in 1978. His magazine won a landmark Supreme Court decision in 1988 that held that even pornographic spoofs enjoy First Amendment protection.
I first saw the headline Flynt has nude Lynch photos and was wondering why anyone would want to see David Lynch naked...
How is she a victim of the Bush administration? Was she forced to make millions of dollars from the exposure? Poor girl.
Give me a break - if Larry Flynt really thought she was a good girl and wanted to protect her, he wouldn't have bought the photos, nor mentioned them in public. He's getting the publicity he wants, and everyone is finding out that Lynch hasn't been a perfect little angel 100% of the time (most human beings aren't). So, everyone out there who has ever had their picture taken while not wearing much... even if it was private... between you and your significant other, or your friends... if you should get your 15 minutes of fame, someone is going to sell those photos. Everyone will know about them, including your parents, and most likely everyone will see them at some point. They will wind up on the Internet. In other words, if you've ever had one of these pictures taken, someone will make sure to damage your reputation with it at the right time. This has happened so many times.
