Teen Kills Herself after Circulation of Nude Pics

By mbrickley

After a typical rowdy and probably incredibly fun spring break in 2008, some scandalous photos of high school senior Jessica Logan, 18, began circulating throughout four Cincinnati-area high schools via text message.

Just four months later, Jessica killed herself - seemingly as a result of the unending torment and embarrassment the “sexted” naked pictures caused her.

According to Fox 19 in Cincinnati, Jessica’s parents, Albert and Cynthia Logan, have filed a lawsuit against the local police department and Jessica’s high school administration for knowing about the problem but not taking steps to remedy it.

The lawsuit includes charges for wrongful death, negligence and dissemination of private material.

This upsetting story is one of many examples of personal injury lawsuits filed for wrongful death and negligence. When faced with such a tragedy, many people and families might not realize what options they have. Talking with a personal injury attorney at no cost is helpful if you have questions about your specific situation.
