THE teenager involved in the St Kilda Football Club nude photo scandal has admitted she lied about taking the lewd images.

The girl said she was emailed the photographs in April last year by a St Kilda footballer.

She said she lied about taking the images because she was in shock.

"That was really stupid of me," the teenager told Nova radio's Hughesy and Kate yesterday.

"I just went into shock when it got that much publicity.

"I think it was my first reaction ... to say I took the photos, because I can't get in trouble if they are my property."

The girl was threatened with legal action by the football club after she posted the nude photos of players on her Facebook account a week before Christmas.

"It is pointless, trying to fight the AFL is like fighting a losing battle," she said.

The 17-year-old, who can't be named, turned up to a Saints training session on Monday and littered the reserve with handwritten flyers saying "Fight the Power" and "Women's Rights".

She said she had sought counselling.

"I don't really think about the future too much," she later said on Mix FM. "It is not looking too bright at the moment."

The girl, who claims to have been impregnated by one of the St Kilda players, said her motive behind posting the images was to stand up for women who had been in a similar situation.

The minor said all she wanted was an apology from the AFL and the St Kilda Football Club.

St Kilda CEO Michael Nettlefold said the club did not want to comment.

A police spokeswoman said an investigation continued and no charges had been laid.
