Person peddling Jamie Lynn Spears breastfeeding pics is in deep trouble

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ federal and local authorities are on the hunt for someone peddling 12 pics of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and baby daddy Casey Aldridge. One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn breast feeding Maddie — Jamie Lynn’s left breast is exposed.

The pics were taken on Casey’s digital camera. We’re told he took the camera card to his local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for copies. Law enforcement believes someone at the Wal-Mart may have made extra copies, then tried selling them.

Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pics — or buying them — could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor’s breast — even if not taken for sexual purposes — could land the seller and the buyer in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the pics could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property.

Other pics in the set include Britney holding the baby and one of Jamie Lynn, Britney, Brian (Brit’s bro), Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears around Jamie Lynn’s hospital bed. There are also pics of Maddie by herself, and there’s a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby.

The person who is looking to sell the photos probably thought their ship had come in and they could make a quick few thousand off the photos and maybe quit working at Walmart. Instead they’re facing federal charges, and while it probably won’t come to that it’s going to be a hard lesson to learn.

Maybe this means that everything is fine between Jamie Lynn and Casey and that they’re not estranged as was rumored. They’re possibly older photos, though, because Britney did visit for a day after her niece was born and they may have been taken at that point. Casey could just be hoping to preserve the memories of his shattered relationship.
