Escort, TCU battling over Internet photo

Go, fight, win - in court

By JEFF MOSIER / The Dallas Morning News

Like lawmen of the Old West, TCU officials last week gave an escort they say is posing as a school cheerleader 24 hours to get out of town, or in this case, remove her photo from the Internet.

The photo of "Sunny," dressed in cheerleader garb and lounging seductively on a TCU sign, remains on the escort service's Web site.

The university is now siccing its attorneys on the 21-year-old.

"We are disappointed that the university's image has been used in this manner," spokeswoman Tracy Syler-Doctson said in a written statement. TCU attorneys have contacted the escort Web site and asked officials to remove the photo.

Sunny, who wouldn't give her full name, said she only posed for a photo on campus and doesn't understand TCU's complaint.

"If they would just ask me nicely, I would take it down," she said, adding that she has received more than a dozen of what she called harassing calls demanding the photo's removal.

Sunny said she's a college sophomore but would not say whether she attends TCU.

In the photo, only the top of the sign is visible, showing parts of "Christian" and "University." There is no logo on her uniform, trimmed in TCU's dominant color - purple.

Sheldon Steinbach, general counsel for the American Council on Education, said it's difficult to tell whether TCU has a case. Adult Web sites often advertise "clean-cut college girls gone wild" without repercussions, he said.

The University of North Carolina in 2002 successfully sued an adult Web site that had used lettering and colors similar to the college's and included shots of locations on campus for trademark infringement.

Sunny says she hasn't decided what to do about the photo.

"You should be able to take a picture in public anywhere you want and wearing anything you want," she said.

they might have a hard time proving they have a reputation that can be lowered.

I guess after the Colorado mess, no one wants to be associate with women of ill repute (at least not publicly). They're probably afraid someone will think she's been working for the athletic department in the area of recruiting. Wouldn't it be funny if it was true?

Well heck, I see why they're mad. If I were TCU, I wouldn't want a photo of Bevo laying on my sign either...

Dooby, did you really find it over at killerfogs? Or did you know the link off the top of your head?

I'm just wondering how they will explain finding this picture in the first place......

What I'm about to say is highly unoriginal. It came from an anonymous source. "Deep Throat"?

Per usual, TCU gets the upper hand when recruiting the "big uglies."

Greenwich Pony · Post by **Greenwich Pony** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 4:02 pm

Well, at least we know TCU doesn't use sex to recruit athletes. However, I think that there may be some hazing concerns...

And for once, Dooby's avatar isn't the scariest photo on the thread...

And Dooby, considering your penchant for plush women of questionable charisma, are you really Bill Clinton?
