Perez Hilton is facing potential child porn charges for publishing a photo of Miley Cyrus photographed getting out of a car allegedly not wearing underwear.
People Magazine suggests that the photo was doctored and that Hilton is liable for publishing the photo, regardless of its authenticity.By knowingly distributing the photograph, Hilton can be punished under the law.
Cyrus is 17-years old and a minor under United States law. 32-year old Perez Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira Jr) published the image on his blog but has since taken it down.
In a statement yesterday he said "I like to controversial but I don't want to go to jail".
