The wife of late Playboy Magazine founder Hugh Hefner is trying to track down her late husband’s massive collection of scrapbooks, which she says could contain sexually explicit photos of underage girls.
Crystal Harris filed a legal complaint to find out where these scrapbooks — about 3,000 of them — are now being kept.
TheU.K.’s Daily Mailreported Tuesday that Harris held a press conference on the matter with her attorney, celebrity feminist lawyer Gloria Allred.
“It is critical for the public to understand that I am not referring to images that appeared in magazines,” Harris said. “My focus is on how Hugh Hefner’s personal scrapbooks chronicle private moments that took place behind closed doors,” Harris said.
Some of the young women may have been intoxicated when the images were taken, she said.
“There are serious and unresolved concerns about the scope of what these books contain. The materials span decades, beginning in the 1960s, and may include images of girls who were underage at the time and could not consent to how their images would be retained or controlled.
“They may also contain images of women who did not consent to their images being taken in the first place. The scrapbooks include nude images, images taken before and after sexual activity, and other deeply intimate moments.
“This is not historical documentation. This is the cataloging and objectification of women’s most private details.”
As to the exact whereabouts of the albums, Harris said she was told some photographs “could be inside a private residence to be scanned and digitized,” while others are said to be in storage at a facility in California.
