A reporter from a gossip blog e-mailed her on Dec. 21, 2007. The pictures were on the Internet, the reporter told Chen, and they were spreading fast. There were 12 photos in all -- four nude, one sexually explicit. They were all of Chen, all taken by an ex-boyfriend. Lena Chen was 20 at the time, a junior at Harvard. She wasn't the first to have nude photos spilled online, but she may have been the most famous, at least among those who are not truly famous. Lena Chen was the author of a blog called Sex and the Ivy. She started it when she was 19 years old and used it to chronicle her life. As the name implied, Chen's blog was deeply personal and frank about sex. In an early post, she confessed to having both mommy and daddy issues. She liked her fish, she added, like she liked her sex: raw. The blog's occasionally explicit descriptions of Lena Chen's sexual trysts -- and the fact Chen wrote it under her own name -- earned her some notoriety. She was mentioned in local and later national press. She became, in the insular world of elite undergraduate life, something of a celebrity. All of which is to say that when nude photos of her appeared online, there were enough people who knew who she was to care, and spread them. In other words, she was not just another naked young woman on the Internet. Lena Chen believes her ex leaked the photos deliberately, to hurt her. "The fact that I was a well-known figure online, that helped him," she said when I spoke to her before Christmas. "And that was pretty terrible."
