Warning: semi-pornographic photos being sent to children and teens

Beware. PETA, the animal rights organisation, has a campaign against hunting or something that features nude actors in photographs and one of the actors featuring in them is having his publicist send them to children. I found some of these photos, and other unpublished ones, in my daughter's room. I contacted the police (my daughter is 12 and got them through the post) and the police said that one of the photos is from this organisation "PETA" and that the person in it has been sending similar photos to people, including children and teens, as part of his support for the PETA campaign. I find this vile. An actor or public personality should not send semi porn photos to children no matter what the cause. The police said they are investigating other complaints but just be ware. Pornographic photos and sexually suggestive photos can be found in many places.

Who was the actor? PETA are [imo well-intentioned but extremist borderline loons] pretty well known for things like their "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaigns and other such media headline-grabbing spots. I don't recall seeing any of their posters with much more than you get on the front of Zoo/Nuts or a standard provocative billboard pin-up; all "bits" are usually covered with slogans or props.

In what context was your daughter receiving mailings from this person? It might be relevant if it is through something specifically aimed at children, for mixed ages or older teens/adults (eg. Facebook should be 14+ although in practice that isn't enforced).
