Karma is indeed a bitch. After years of drawing digital spooge on celebrity photographs and posting them with accompanying catty comments to his eponymous showbiz site, Perez Hilton has gotten himself into some serious trouble.When Hilton -- real name Mario Lavandeira -- posted a pic of an apparently panty-less Miley Cyrus to Twitter -- he apparently didn't give it a second thought. However, posting an up-skirt shot of a 17-year-old is a no-no. A federal pound-you-in-the-ass no-no, to paraphraseOffice Space.
Hilton yanked the photo from his server, but the damage was already done. Los Angeles-based attorney and child porn case expert Jeffrey Douglas told Salon.com, "We're not talking about a misdemeanor. You don't have to know what the definition of the law is, all you have to do is knowingly distribute the photograph." Some reports say Levandeira could face as much as 35 years in jail for the Tweet.
Even if the pic was doctored and didn't represent the Disney teen queen's naughty bits -- as Hilton is only now claiming -- that doesn't absolve him from legal wrongdoing, says Douglas.
My question is, who will be the first to bust a digital nut on Hilton's mug shot?
