14 DAY TRIAL // A woman from US, is suing Yahoo for $3 million. According to a lawsuit filed in Oregon, Cecilia Barnes, 48, is accusing Yahoo because the Web portal was unable to remove naked pictures of her.
The pictures were taken by an ex-boy friend, without Barnes permission. Soon after braking up, Cecilia Barnes find out that her ex-boyfriend began posting those pictures on Yahoo! profiles.
"Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at plaintiff's work expecting to engage in sexual relations with her," the lawsuit claims.
Cecilia Barnes contacted several times Yahoo, saying that she is not responsible for those profiles and requesting the removal of the pictures.
She claims that Yahoo did not respond to the letter send in January and failed to remove the photographs. Additional attempts to get Yahoo to remove the profiles in February and March also failed, the lawsuit claims.
A Yahoo spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company does not comment on pending litigation.
