"Come on baby, it'll be fun. Just some photos for me when I have to go out of town. You're so sexy and I just want to be reminded of your sexy body before I go to sleep at night. I got the camera ready... just take your clothes off and twist in a sexy position. Trust me, I would never show them to anyone." Urrrh, brakes!
We currently have no way of knowing what phrases were used by ex-boyfriend, Mark C. Dawson (pictured). We do know that he was successful in having ex-girlfriend Tampa Breeze Rookie Linebacker Melissa Jo Berry (pictured) to disrobe and pose for photos. We also know those once "private" cell phone photos have now become very "public" via Myspace. And Ms. Berry is mad as heck. Melissa is suing her ex-boyfriend for exposing her - literally.
I have read some arguments that since Melissa is part of the Lingerie Football team, Tampa Breeze (pictured below), then she should be fine with just taking off a few more undergarments. That's not the point. Even though a bra and panties may seem like nothing to most of us who wear a bit more fabric at our daily jobs, naked is another story. 
Ladies, the lesson here: Never let someone, who is not your husband, take compromising photos of yourself that you would not want to see broadcast anyplace other than your own domain. If you are a risk taker, then go ahead and take the photos but be sure you hold all the pictures and the negatives/memory card. If all else fails, have copies. You do not want these photos to resurface years later when you have made it big. Imagine you and your hubby out for a fun evening, only to see the crawl splashed across CNN headline news with your image. Folks have a way of resurfacing that stuff once you have made it big. Copies will at least brace you for what may occur later on.
Look, a creep comes in many forms. He can hold a PhD. or hold Busch beer. Be smart. Take photos that don't include your actual face. Unless you have a distinct birthmark visible in the photo or a tattoo that is very specific, you can always deny faceless nudity. But remember, that the minute you let a photo or a video of yourself be shot, its destination can be rerouted through a variety of ways.
Take a video mail system I use, TOKBOX. I use TOKBOX quite frequently to dispense advice to young ladies. There is one particular young lady who videotaped herself in a pink tank with no bottoms. This same young lady went as far as to have a close up of herself doing a very private act. What the young lady did not know was that her link was passed from person to person. How else did I get the link intended for one young man? If I got the link, then how many others did?

Suing is always the American way when these types of issues persist but think of the money you are going to shell out. All of this because of poor judgment.
If you have already done the photo/video shoot with an ex, then be grateful that Melissa Berry's story did not happen to you. But for the next guy, be smarter.
The naked truth: Remember, your image is all you have. Employers, mentors and lawyers can use these photos/videos of your private acts against you in years to come. These images can paint a side of you that you want to forget. Pics/videos and cyberspace are forever.
