p.gifB.C. mayor embarrassed by naked photos

CTV.ca News Staff

Residents of the northern B.C. town of Houston have seen a side of their mayor -- the first female -- that she probably would have preferred to remain private.

Photographs of a smiling Sharon Smith wearing nothing else than the chain of office are the talk of the town after copies of the pics were allegedly copied from her computer and circulated around the mill town.

In one full-length photograph, taken by her husband, Smith is shown seated naked with the mayor's medallion around her neck.

Her reaction has been one of hurt and embarrassment. In a letter to the local weekly paper, Houston Today, she said her privacy had been violated. "These photos are private property, belonging to my husband and me."

She also told the Vancouver Province in an interview that she has no plans to resign.

The photographs were said to have been stolen during a house party thrown by her sons in November while their parents were out. A guest allegedly burned a CD of the photographs and circulated them. The RCMP has not confirmed this.

Former town councillor Nipper Kettle told The Globe and Mail he recognizes the setting of the photographs as the mayor's office, and said that's what he takes offence to.

"To have pictures on your computer at home is not a big deal I guess. That's within your rights," he said.

"But when you go down to the municipal office that is paid for by the taxpayers and do those kinds of things and wearing the chain of office, there's where people see the wrongdoing here."
