Washington, Dec 30 : Lingerie football league player Melissa J. Berry has sued her former boyfriend for posting nude and intimate photos of her on the Internet.

Berry, 24, sued Mark C. Dawson in Hillsborough County Circuit Court on December 30, and said that he was trying to extort, humiliate and hurt her by showing the photographs to her mother and friends.

She said that Dawson posted the photographs on MySpace. com without her permission.

Dawson, a safe dating expert, was berated by Berry, who said that he should know better because he markets himself as an expert on "healthy relationships" who has studied "success, performance and human behaviour for over 25 years."
