Photos of post-natal Jamie-Lynn Spears, Britney’s younger sister, have triggered a federal photography investigation, both local and national authorities being now in pursuit of the stolen pictures that were initially taken by the baby’s father, Casey Aldridge.

One of the shots exposed Jamie-Lynn’s left breast while she was feeding her daughter Maddie. Police officials believe that a Louisiana Wal-Mart employee, where Aldridge took his camera card in order to have the pictures developed, made copies of the photos with the purpose of selling them online. Due to the fact that Britney’s sister is a minor, selling or buying the pictures would translate as a violation of federal laws prohibiting child pornography. Consequently, if the photos end up on the Internet, whoever posted them might be in for some jail time.

Other pictures show Britney holding the baby, Jamie Lynn along with her sister Britney and  her older brother Brian and mother Lynne Spears and Jamie by the latter’s hospital bed.

Also, photos of Maddie by herself and a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby were on the camera card.

Although Jamie-Lynn and Casey are both victims in this case, there are still some unanswered questions concerning the matter that needs to be sorted out. Nowadays, almost everyone develops their photos at home, especially when they own a digital camera. Therefore, what puzzles everybody is Aldridge’s decision to have the photos developed at a Wal-Mart.

Authorities are now trying to track down the man who might attempt to trade the pictures. In addition, Britney’s lawyers are thinking about suing Wal-Mart for the suspicious security breach.
