Celebrity Nude Photos Leaked: Scandal or Sex Crime?

The article “Jennifer Lawrence Nude Photo Leak Isn't A 'Scandal.' It's A Sex Crime.” by Scott Mendelson tells us how unethical it is to go through someone’s private life and how the world is a free place, that any person is free to do whatever s/he wants even if it was to keep a nude photo of themselves on their phone. Scott states this article was a sex crime and not a scandal because, he believes that its not really the victim’s fault that their pictures were published; they simply thought that their photos were safe.
   Honestly, when I first heard about this leaked naked photos of celebrities, I thought it was some washed down celebrity trying to be famous again by leaking their own photos on the web and playing the innocent victim, however when I found out it was Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, model Kate Upton and actress Victoria Justice I was stunned, because why would someone who is truly famous leak their own nude photos, it didn’t really make sense.
    Some of the articles that I have read are mostly stating the incident as a scandal rather than a sex crime but when you come to think of it, it is a little bit of both a scandal and a sex crime: The stars did not do anything wrong as many people would suggest and they did not have anything to be sorry about, even though it is true that they didn’t have anything to be sorry about since it is a free world and you can have whatever you want on your phone nonetheless why would they have naked pictures of themselves on their phone, once you come to think about it, it is pretty scandalous as to why they have that photo, now on the other hand, the hackers did violate many people’s personal and private lives which is very immoral and unethical whether they were celebrities or non famous people, it isn’t very nice going through the people’s personal lives and publishing them.
   We can determine that this whole misfortunate event can be both stated as a sex crime and a scandal, the victims of this unfortunate event do not have any reason to be apologizing, it is the hackers that should apologize for what they have done and punished because it isn't nice to undermine women.
