Family of Niki Catsouras sues over death photos

Niki borrowed her father’s Porsche with out permission on Oct 31 of last year. According to police Niki was going 100 mph when she clipped another car, causing her to smash into a concrete toll booth. She was killed instantly.

The photos show Niki’s decapitated body still strapped into the car. Soon after Niki’s death her parents began receiving e-mails and text messages of the photos. A fake MySpace page had been created for Niki and quickly became a site to view the photos.

The pictures quickly spread around the internet and appeared on almost 1,600 sites. The family has hired a company to take the pictures down.

Lesli said is got so bad she stopped getting on the internet of checking unfamiliar e-mails. They took their 16-year-old daughter out of school to prevent her from seeing the pictures. “I don’t want to see these every single day. And you know, I take a risk every time I go on the computer,” said Lesli.

A California judge ruled the Catsouras’ lawsuit against the highway patrol could move forward on Thursday.
