Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has broken her silence on being victimised in the nude photo hacking scandal.
The 24-year-old saw hundreds of private photos leaked online and said that she believes it's not a scandal but a sex crime.
'It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,' she told Vanity Fair. 'It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these Web sites are responsible.
'Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me. I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.'

Jennifer was lined up as the cover star for the magazine's November issue and the interviewer re-interviewed Jenner to give her side of events, which she said left her devastated.
'Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this,' she says. 'It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world.

'Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you.'
'When I have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what's happened ... I don't care how much money I get for The Hunger Games,' she said. 'I promise you, anybody given the choice of that kind of money or having to make a phone call to tell your dad that something like that has happened, it's not worth it. Fortunately, he was playing golf, so he was in a good mood.'

Several undisclosed victims have since sent a legal letter to Google demanding that the company pay damages for 'knowingly accommodating, facilitating, and perpetuating the unlawful conduct' of the 4Chan thieves.
They have since responded to the letter, addressed to CEO Larry Page and Executive Chairman Eric. E. Schmidt and titled 'Google's Repeat Copyright And Privacy Violations In Connection with Hacked Photo Scandal'.
