the "right" to take action may or may not exist, but regardless that doesn't mean it's a good idea. i'm not sure how taking legal action against this girl can possibly help their case in the court of public opinion. just because they're angry doesn't mean they should take it out on her, no matter how much their lawyers think it's a good idea.
They should just wait until some sensationalist sections of the media 'purchase' the rights from this malicious 17 year old adn publish 'her account' which if we are to go by her track record may not actually resemble fact?
The minute this 'girl' turns 18 the mainstream media (ie other than social networking media) is free to publish her name and details.
I can see it now.
'Ralph Magazine takes you inside the St Kilda Schoolgirl Sex Scandal'
'Zoo Weekly - Photos of the AFL Sex Schoolgirl'
etc
etc
She is going to earn money from all of this, which may have been a motivation all along if the stories of trying to sell the photographs are true.
Why shouldn't she be held responsible for her actions?
Why 'reward' her for her behaviour?
That would be a great 'lesson' to young people - she could become a 'role model' for a whole generation of teenagers looking to earn themselves a 'quick buck'.
Let's get it straght. The instant these photos were uploaded it was always going to become a PR disaster for our Club and the players involved.
BUT that doesn't mean we shouldn't be supporting the players adn the Club with everything we have at their means.
