Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out for the first time about the nude photos of her that were shared across the web last month, calling it a "sex crime" and "sexual violation" in a recent Vanity Fair interview.

Lawrence, who covers the magazine's November issue, has some frank, scathing words for the hackers who accessed her personal images via iCloud, and posted them on sites such as 4chan and Reddit.

“Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," Lawrence says. "It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.”

Lawrence was just one of dozens of actresses, female athletes and public figures whose images were hacked and posted online. While Reddit and Google have made several attempts to monitor and remove the stolen images, hackers continue to release more and more photos of other celebrities as recently as last week.

The 24-year-old Oscar-winning actress says she will not apologize for her actions, claiming the images were taken for her long-distance boyfriend at the time. “I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”

Lawrence does, however, blame the offending websites, and calls for a change of laws.

"That’s why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it ... I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside,” she says, adding that every person who looked at the images were "perpetuating a sexual offense."

"You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, 'Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.' I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that you could look at my naked body."

Following the iCloud breach, Apple beefed up on its security, adding features such as two-step authentication and remote browser logout. The FBI also began investigating the case.

“The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high-profile individuals, and is addressing the matter," FBI public affairs officer Christopher Allen previously said in a statement provided to Mashable.

But it doesn't seem Lawrence is counting on the hackers getting prosecuted.

"I can’t have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace,” she says in the interview.

Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kashner interviewed Lawrence in early August before the images had been released. Kashner conducted a follow-up interview with Lawrence after the nude photo hack to give her "a chance to have the last word," according to Vanity Fair. The cover photo shoot, with Patrick Demarchelier, also took place a month prior to the hacking news.

Lawrence also shares the embarrassment she faced when having to tell her father about the hacked photos.

“When I have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what’s happened ... I 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 has happened, it’s not worth it."

"Fortunately, he was playing golf, so he was in a good mood," she joked.

The entire 3,000-word interview with Lawrence will be available on Vanity Fair's website on Wednesday. This issue hits stands Thursday.

This will most likely be just the first of Lawrence's statements on the hacking, considering she will be kicking off a lengthy press tour for her blockbuster film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1, which is due out in November.
