After four rounds of nude selfie leaks, actress Jennifer Lawrence has broken her silence on what happened. She called the hacking incident a sex crime, not a sex scandal. Even just merely viewing the naked images is tantamount to perpetuating a sexual offence, she insisted.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, the Academy Award actress said, "It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change."

Lawrence blamed the Web sites for the leaks as well as publishing the filched images done by hacking, referring to messaging boards 4Chan and Reddit. She said the first thought on her mind is that someone wants to gain financially from the incident.

Taking her photo of herself sans clothing is her choice because it's her body, the actress said, but "the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting."

Lawrence admitted it took her a month to break her silence because she was afraid how the nude leaks would affect her career. She said being a celebrity does not mean having her privacy invaded is the price she has to pay for being an actress - a public figure.

She initially wanted to write a statement in August because each time she attempted, Lawrence cried or got angry. She also considered writing an apology but decided against it because she has nothing to be sorry for.

The star of The Hunger Games recalled that she found it difficult to tell her father about the hacking, which she did by calling him while he was golfing. "I just don't care how much money I get for The Hunger Games. I promise you, anybody given the choice of that kind of money or having to make a phone call to tell your dad that something like that happened, it's not worth it."

At least it was something that latest hack victim, Nick Hogan, didn't have to struggle with.
