Are there two different arguments at hand here?
1. You cannot blame the victims
2. Taking nude pictures has an inherent risk associated with it.
These two things seem to be the main points on either side, and I don't think either point negates the other (which might be the cause for the circular nature of the argument).
I think a general truth is that many things one does carries with it risk. People take calculated risks all the time, and often time those risks play a part in the bad things that happen to people. Getting cancer is a risk you take repeatedly in your life, getting to an accident is a risk you take every time you get into a car, you risk getting robbed any time you walk down the street.
I guess what makes me curious, is where the cutoff is. What makes us say to one person "That's terrible that happened to you." and to another person "You knew the risks involved."?
