McKayla Maroney, the U.S. Olympic gymnast victimized in the recent celebrity nude photo hacking scandal, has demanded that her pictures be removed from at least one pornographic website because she was underage when the photos were taken.
A representative for Porn.com told TMZ that the site removed Maroney's photos immediately after receiving a letter from the gymnast's attorney. Maroney, whose "not impressed" podium scowl went viral after the 2012 Olympics, turned 18 in December.
A different Maroney attorney also reportedly sent letters to multiple other websites warning them against posting the gymnast's photos because only she holds the copyright, according to TMZ. The photo hacking scandal is the same one that victimized Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande, and many other female celebrities and personalities this week.

Maroney initially took to Twitter and dubbed the leaked photos fake.
She also tweeted out a message of thanks to her fans for standing by her.
Maroney was part of the gold-medal-winning U.S. women's gymnastics team at the 2012 London Olympics.
It was her silver-medal finish in the vault during the individual competition, though, that made her a household name.
