Mommy Pics of Brit's Sis Trigger Criminal Probe
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ federal and local authorities are on the hunt for someone peddling 12 pics of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and baby daddy Casey Aldridge. One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn breast feeding Maddie -- Jamie Lynn's left breast is exposed.
The pics were taken on Casey's digital camera. We're told he took the camera card to his local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for copies. Law enforcement believes someone at the Wal-Mart may have made extra copies, then tried selling them.
Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pics -- or buying them -- could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting child pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor's breast -- even if not taken for sexual purposes -- could land the seller and the buyer in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the pics could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property.
Other pics in the set include Britney holding the baby and one of Jamie Lynn, Britney, Bryan (Brit's bro), Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears around Jamie Lynn's hospital bed. There are also pics of Maddie by herself, and there's a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby.
Authorities are trying to find the man who is attempting to sell the photos. In addition, we're told Britney's lawyers are thinking about going after Wal-Mart for the alleged security breach.

Do you agree that this is child porn and should be prosecuted as such?
I say get a printer for home. It's not like they are lacking in the money.
However....yes, she's underage, but in all the breastfeeding pics I've seen from friends who have had kids and such, it's not like you're seeing the full on boob. They are mainly made up of the back of the head of the baby and some cleavage. Of course, there are some nipple-latching pics...which may be present in this batch of Spears' drama....but if it was just cleavage crap, then it's probably as much as you'd see w/ some chick in a two piece.
Still, I don't believe it's child porn, but it may be inappropriate in some manner.
Also...isn't possession of underage nude photos a crime? If Casey took these (yes he's a minor as well), shouldn't he be charged?
