A TV newswoman in Ohio has won a lawsuit against Hustler Inc. over publication of a photograph showing her dancing naked in a wet T-shirt contest.
The Plain Dealer reports a federal jury on Thursday sided with Catherine Bosley and her husband over an image taken at a Florida bar in 2003. The jury awarded them $135,000 plus attorney fees.
Bosley and her husband gained rights to her contest photos after a photographer posted them online. She resigned from WKBN-TV in Youngstown, and now works at WOIO-TV in Cleveland.
Hustler Magazine printed one of the photos in 2006. The 2008 lawsuit claimed the publication failed to get Bosley’s permission to print the photo. Hustler’s attorneys argued they didn’t need permission.
It’s unclear if Hustler Inc. will appeal the decision.

Are they real or man made?
The subscribers to Hustler should be able to sue for being subjected to her pic......lmao!
Honestly, who cares? And, her husband is proud? Seriously?!
She should have sued the dr that did the surgery....those things were scary looking!
Shame on her for doing that, and with her husband there too.
She definitely looks better with her clothes on!
Freedoms, everyone, freedoms. She can do what she wants. It just happened to be in an adult locale, 1000 miles from home; you know, where we would think that no one back home would see it. Think how you would feel if that were you or your daughter/sister exercising her freedom.
At the same time, from my public interactions with her, she's a couple letters short of class and a mere TV poodle.
Brown.... as far as her husband being there, they were both into their bodies and showing them off. I agree with ailierdroit, no class !!
Brown.... If I remember correctly, that is her husband's last name too, Brown.
