I don't have a daughter, but I have a 20 yr old niece, and one of the things I've tried to impress on her is for her to take responsibility for her own safety.
A young woman who wears revealing clothing and walks alone through an unlit area at night certainly doesn't deserve to get raped, but she is being stupid in putting herself at risk. And if I see such a story on the news, you can bet I'm going to point it out to my niece and say, "This is a prime example of why you have to take care", without feeling like I'm blaming the victim.
In the case of these pictures, there's a long history of cell phone photos of young women, famous or not, being published on the internet by hackers or jilted lovers. You don't have to be a tech nerd to know this; anyone who follows entertainment news will be familiar with leaked sex tapes and photos. I guarantee every celeb whose photos were just published knows who Paris Hilton is, and why she became famous.
Does that mean they deserved to have their privacy invaded? No.
However, is this a prime example we can point to and say, "Take some personal responsibility, people! If you don't want photos of yourself on the internet, don't take them!"? Yes.
