Scotty Largo Scandal

Just wanted to post the question to the following situation. Does obscenity issues apply here?

Scotty Largo is a Bronze Medal winner in the 2010 Winter Olympics. After winning his medal he was caught at a party, and some "risky" photos were taken of him.

Now the photo themselves were not as obscene as some people might think. However, think of the situation. He is an olympic athlete. Many men, women, and children may look up to him. My question is if an obscentity issue comes into play here.

It is said that the photos were innocent and not his fault. However, Largo did appologize to the Olympic committee and voluntarily left the rest of the olympics. Does obscenity play some sort of factor here because he was a public figure?
