(U-WIRE) BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - An Indiana University freshman who stars in an adult Web site featuring semi-nude pictures of her taken in her dorm room and showers will not be charged through the campus judicial system, Dean of Students Richard McKaig revealed Monday.
"It was agreed that this is a situation like those in the past when students have posed for Playboy," McKaig said. "The University does not condone the activity, but it is also outside of the University to control it."
Keira, as she has asked to be called, has received international media attention since news of her Web site, www.teenkeira.com, broke last week.
Much of the controversy arose over concerns Keira may have broken the student code of conduct.
According to the code, "lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct" on University property can result in a judicial board hearing.
Police confirmed to him that they discovered no unlawful activity, and UITS confirmed that the site was not being run on the University's network.
He also said Keira has agreed to not take anymore pictures in common areas such as the showers.
"It appears as if no one in the showers was disturbed by the pictures at the time they were taken," McKaig said. "She has also tried to get some of those pictures off the site."
