Okay, this is quite a long and weird story.
So basically one of my wife's old friends started talking to her again online. Naturally, I add her to my MySpace, and I obviously see her pictures and know what she looks like.
Fast-forward a few months later...just yesterday. I regularly browse through http://www.sxc.hu which is a free stock photography site. As such, any members can add their own photos. So, just out of boredom, I use the search term "nude" and just start browsing through the 17 pages of results. Right around page 12, I see a picture of a girl in a pose that is much the same as my wife's friend. She kinda looked like her, too. I laughed to myself and said "Hey, woudln't it be funny if her pictures were on here?"
And, of course, on the next page...there she is. Now, she was nude, but she was covering herself. So I just sit there for a few minutes, stunned speechless, something which rarely happens to me. I looked at the user that uploaded them, and the name is "Bella". So I talk to my wife about it and she says "That's weird! Bella was her nickname...we never knew why, it just was." I look on the profile, and the name given was some weird name that I'd never heard of before...not her real name.
So I talk to the friend about this and apparently the name given was her ex-boyfriend's sister, and her ex was a photographer...but she never gave permission to put the pics on a stock photography web site.
This isn't the end of this story.
On one of her pictures, somebody commented "Oh, hey you're so-and-so from deviantart.com!" I go "Whaaa?" and head over to DeviantArt.com under the username given...and there she is. Again. The bastard put up her pictures for everybody and their mother to alter ("deviate") and post. Her face (and body) are plastered all across the web.
But there's more.
One of the blog entries on the deviantart page says "Well you can see me nude at SG". I started to wonder what SG was...until I saw a link below it linking to SuicideGirls.com
Anybody ever hear of SuicideGirls? Basically, they're "punk" kinda girls posing naked. So, being the snoop I am, I head over to SG and do a search for all the aliases I've come across, including the user name "she" used at DeviantArt. Nothing popped up. So I Googled the DeviantArt user name + "SuicideGirls" and BINGO.
Apparently the friend either is a SuicideGirls model and leads a double life...or I'm going nuts. Never did she give any indication of that. My wife used to be a subscriber of SuicideGirls and loved the site...and now I'm pretty sure she'll definitely want to join again to see the 7 photo sets her friend has up.
Weird, man. Weird couple of days, I'm telling you.
Great detective work, there.
Now imagine how weird it would have been if you had found your wife online.
Wait a minute... wife's friend? you are not talking about your wife are you? :P
Hah, no, my wife's friend. If anybody really wants to see who I'm talking about, the name she goes by on SG is Diamante. You'll have to Google it, though, because it won't show up on normal searches.

Argh, I retraced your steps and found her SG profile on my own before you posted that :D. Well it was time well spent avoiding real work :).

This is annoying, indeed... Those bastards, who put the nude photos of their ex-girlfriends to the web for getting vengeance, deserves a good thrash.
It seems like this guy removed the stock photos out of 'his' gallery, did someone talk with him about this after you realized he submits those pictures?
It appears as though my wife's friend herself added those pics to www.sxc.hu. I'll have another look, but she might have deleted them after being discovered :P

So when does Kevin Bacon come into play?
