Student found her photo on porn cover

A 17-year-old Staffordshire student is taking legal action after finding her photograph on the front cover of a porn film.

The snap of Lara Coton - taken on a family holiday when she was just 14 - was being used by US adult entertainment firm TVX Films for Body Magic.

Last year Lara e-mailed the picture to an art website, which displays work from photography students across the UK, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Her mother, Christine, had taken the photograph inside their hotel room in Blackpool in 2004. She captured her daughter wearing a black top hat and black dress.

Lara, of Tamworth, Staffs, found the photograph on the front of the American porn film earlier this year after a friend tipped her off.

She said: "I was horrified when I found out it was being used to sell a porn film.''

She wants compensation for her image being used without consent.

TVX Films claims it was entitled to use the picture because Lara had put it in the ''public domain'' but has agreed to change the cover.

i heard she never got any compensation, because of her 'age' and the guy was just rude as heck to her. funny how the claim it was in the 'public domain' when they can't remember where they got it from. some people...
