Peddling of naked pictures by husband upsets suspected spy

According to her attorney, accused Russian spy Anna Chapman is upset as her former husband peddled pictures of her naked to tabloid newspapers.

ABC News quoted her attorney, Robert Baum, as saying, "Anna said when those photos were taken she was 21 years old. He asked her to pose and she agreed because she thought they would be private."

ABC reported on Wednesday that Baum also said Alex Chapman had told lies about his 28-year-old client in interviews with the newspapers, including that her father was a Russian KGB agent.

Adding her father, Vasily Kushchenko, is an embassy official for Russia, Baum said, "Virtually all the statements he made about her are not true. He spent many years in Kenya and Zimbabwe, not exactly where you would send your KGB agent to."

While the Chapmans' divorce had not been amicable, Anna Chapman was "disappointed" by what she regards as her ex-husband's betrayal, said Baum.

It has further been reported that she was among several alleged secret agents arrested by federal authorities last month and is being held without bail in New York. (With Inputs from Agencies)
