Regarding the "if you're in public, you're fair game" point, if the picture is for commercial use (even if money doesn't change hands) the model must sign a release or a contract, one of the two. Or the picture may not be used. "Photo journalism" is an exception, which paparazzi take advantage of. This event sounds like neither. There are specific laws about pictures taken for sexual content, especially if the model is underage, whether there is a commercial purpose or not. .
