Tampa- A British teenager whose self-portrait somehow ended up on the cover of a hardcore video has filed a lawsuit against the film’s distributors, claiming that they have left the impression that she is involved in the porno industry.

In a copyright lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida, Lara Jade Coton, 18, charges that her photo–which was taken when she was just 14–has appeared on the cover of “Body Magic,” a 1982 film that was recently reissued [by Hustler].

The image of Coton, now a college student, shows her wearing a shoulder-bearing dress and a top hat. The photo, which Coton titled “No Way Out,” was lifted from her web site by the artist who designed the DVD cover of “Body Magic,” which is described on its cover as having received Hustler magazine’s “highest rating.”

The movie’s main character is a young fashion photographer named Laura. In her lawsuit, Coton recounts contacting one of the film’s distributors earlier this year after discovering her image on the porno box. Her request for compensation was brusquely rejected by one of the film’s distributors, who wrote, “Nice try toots. We are still going to remove you from the art, not because of your claim but let’s face it your picture means very little to the film.”

While Coton’s photo was subsequently replaced on the film’s box, the image has remained on the DVD itself.
