'The image of Teen in a spread eagle position making her crotch area the focal point of the image may portray a child in a sexually suggestive manner and may be in violation of one or more federal and/or state laws.'
According to the New York Post, the suit also claims the teenager has been ‘the object of prurient interests and provides wallpaper for the likes of pedophiles’.
