WLWT Settles "Sexting" Lawsuit

Joanna Argus was shocked when she heard her name was shown on a television news show's graphics accompanying a story about "sexting."

That's because Argus, 30, complained several times to WLWT-TV, Channel 5, about the graphic it was using on the air and its Web site and was told each time it would be removed.

The story was about sexting - sending sexually explicit photos or text messages - but had nothing to do with Argus.
