“He felt cheated, and he said, ‘You told me you only took lingerie (pictures), but what is all this?’” she said, adding that she felt simultaneously shocked because she had forgotten about the existence of those photos by then.įeeling overwhelmed and victimised by the rising number of messages from friends coming across her photos, Elaine went to the police, only to be told that they could not help her because money had changed hands.
Some four years later, her boyfriend texted her in anger after discovering her nude pictures on Sammyboy Forum, a local site hosting forum threads about sex and prostitution in Asia. What she didn’t expect, though, was for those fateful 10 minutes to come back and bite her. It was a verbal agreement, but she had no reason to worry that he would go back on his word, since nothing untoward had happened with photos she had taken with him before. He also assured her it was “just for a collection, meaning he won’t share it around, he won’t publish it and all that,” she said. So I just endured it, got it over and done with, and then rushed to the toilet to get my clothes back on,” she added. “It’s like lighting up a cigarette and waiting till it finishes burning - it’s that kind of time frame, 10 minutes. It was awkward, she said, but she told herself to endure it, reminding herself that it was just 10 minutes. She was desperate for the money at that time, too as two ex-boyfriends had cheated her of her savings, and a former employer had not paid her more than $1,500 from a previous part-time job she did. “Honestly, $200 for 10 minutes - to a student (like me), that’s really a lot.” “At the end of the shoot, he said, ‘Why don’t you just do 10 minutes of nude shoots, and I’ll pay you $200 more’,” she said, opening up about her story for the first time to Yahoo Singapore. That shoot in 2009 was different, though, as the result was she joined the ranks of models in Singapore with nude photographs leaked online. Having started modelling roughly a year earlier, the then-Institute of Technical Education electronics student found it an easy way to earn pocket money and save for her studies. She had become accustomed to his style and had grown to trust him - after all, he called her often, dangling the offer of “spare cash” to pose for his camera. It was a routine affair, and it was already her fifth time working with this particular photographer. It's not clear how much he paid, but information on one of his websites says he pays $100 per hour for photo shoots.Elaine (not her real name) was 18 when she posed for her last lingerie-clad photo shoot. And he says he paid both daughters for their time. He says Oberle signed a "model release" form allowing her younger daughter to appear on his website using stage names. Now Grady, 50, is suing Oberle and the two daughters. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office investigated his websites in 20, but no charges were filed because they did not meet the legal criteria to be considered child pornography, said spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda. He was arrested in 2002 in Colorado on more than 700 counts of sexual exploitation of a child, but the number of charges was reduced to 39 by the time the case came to court in 2003. Grady operates the websites, and he is no stranger to controversy. The other site, which includes the topless photos of her older daughter, claims to feature "America's hottest college girls" and "100-percent exclusive topless and nude photos."īut Oberle says the arrangement broke down when one of her daughters asked the website operator for more money, and "he fired my daughter." He also told her daughters they could not appear on any similar websites, she said. The website featuring her younger daughter shows girls ages 13 through 17 in provocative poses, such as in their underwear and with blouses and pants unbuttoned, but not nude. They're not illegal or anything like that." She said the young women who appear on the websites are "attractive in it.
