Judging by her portfolio, Lara Jade Coton has a bright future in photography. At age 18, the British teenager has already demonstrated significant skill with a camera and an eye for the artistic. So why is she pictured (at age 14, no less) on the cover of a pornographic video?

It seems that TVX Films of Texas thought that her self-portrait would make a great cover photo for the re-release of the adult movie "Body Magic". Unfortunately, the company neglected to ask permission to use the image, instead choosing to simply download it from her website. The company also didn't seem to care that Lara Jade was only fourteen years old when the picture was taken. In fact, when asked to remove her photo from the packaging, the president of TVX blamed her picture for the movie's dismal sales.

So now, Lara Jade has sued the company, asking a jury for financial reparations, an injunction against further use of the image, and for any existing copies to be impounded. Given that there are laws, at least here in California, barring unauthorized commercial use of a person's likeness, I suspect she has a strong case. Personally, I hope she sues the pants off them.
