Above model is NOT the subject of this story and is probably over 18. We hope.
A German newspaper has caused a huge uproar after "mistakenly" publishing a topless photo of a thirteen-year-old girl on its front pages.
Bild, the country's #1 newspaper, which often puts naked women on its covers, ran a photo of a local girl as part of a contest to determine "the hottest girl of the summer." Someone nominated the young woman, who was then photographed by a freelance photographer...
...the minor was paid a fee for the photo and it was published with her mother's written consent. The paper's editor, the company said, had not been aware of the girl's age at the time. Bild said it has removed the image from its archive in order to ensure that it would not be published again.
Wait, her mother signed off on this?! Holy shit-- who knew Warren Jeffs had moved to fucking Germany?
By the way, the newspaper is not going to escape blame in this. Not after this little "snafu":
Generally, the newspaper includes the age of the models it uses on its front page, but on that date, it was conspicuously absent.
Hmmm....
