CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Former Miss West Virginia Allison Williams is suing dozens of Internet businesses that tried to sell pornographic videos they claimed showed her in sexual acts with a Virginia news crew.

Williams filed her lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Wheeling last week against 59 defendants in the United States, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Cayman Islands, Canada and South Africa. She contends that they helped distribute the videos. She is seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief.

The videos, which began to surface last fall, show a woman engaged in sex in the back of a television news truck. Many of the Web sites said the video was shot while Williams was working as a television reporter in Virginia.

However, Williams said she has never worked as a television reporter and has never lived in Virginia. Williams has blond hair, while the woman in the videos appears to be a brunette.

Some of the Internet sites juxtaposed legitimate photographs of Williams alongside pictures taken from the videos, and some of the images were allegedly altered to make the woman in the videos look more like Williams.

Williams, 23, is a West Virginia University law student and was Miss West Virginia in 2003.

“This has been a complete nightmare,” Williams said Monday. “I’m outraged over what these folks have done. It’s horrible to be a victim of something you had nothing to do with.”
