Vanessa Hudgens in nude photo scandal

Hot celebrity Vanessa Hudgens in another scandal as nude photos of the underage actress are leaked.
_
Vanessa Hudgens is on the warpath against websites that are publishing nude pics of her -- and she's leaving open the possibility of filing criminal charges -- sources tell TMZ.
_
The pics have been pitched to various sites, including TMZ -- we turned them down. Several websites have published the photos, taken by Vanessa herself in her home. Vanessa's lawyer says the pics were taken when she was underage. As such, publication could be a federal crime.
_
Sources tell us Vanessa uploaded the pics into her computer and she could be the victim of a hacker. Her lawyer says Vanessa had absolutely nothing to do with the dissemination of the photos.
_
The lawyer has sent cease and desist letters to various websites that have published the photos, asserting the publication is both a crime and a violation of her right of privacy.

Did Vanessa Hudgens not learn her lesson the first time personal photos were leaked online?

The "High School Musical" alum is in the middle of another photo scandal as new images showing the actress provocatively posing topless have hit the Web.

While the risqué photos are new to the public, they were apparently taken before the 20-year-old's first photo controversy in 2007, Eonline.com reports.

"She learned her lesson," a source said. "She hasn't done anything like that since the first ones came out. These new ones are actually old."

Though the actress is now of legal age, she is said to have been 17 years old when she took the photos of herself with a camera phone.

According to Perez Hilton, who had posted the semi-nude images on his Web site Wednesday, lawyers for Hudgens have demanded the photos be removed because the actress was underage.

Hudgens is apparently not planning to issue a statement the way she did the last time her personal photos were leaked.
"I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me," she said two years ago. "I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos."

Despite the public shame, Hudgens, who will be playing a hooker in the upcoming Zack Snyder film
"Sucker Punch," is reportedly still planning to attend the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie

"Bandslam" on Thursday night.

Adds the source, "She's not going to answer any questions about them there either. She said what she had to say about taking nude photos."
