If she left the share setting on the photo as Public, then she has no standing.

From Facebook:

2.Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3. When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy and Platform Page.)
4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

She thinks she can get money? I can't think of any other reason. I mean, it sounds like she's OK with a news show showing her "embarrassing" photo to the entire nation, doesn't sound like she's suffering much "traumatic emotional harm".

"Its a fascinating case.." Not its not, the bitch is dumb. The lawyer that took her case should be anally raped.

And the fascinating thing for me is that since this hit the news her bikini pic has been the background over the shoulder of the news anchors or fullscreen on TV across the entire country. She plan on suing them as well?

definitely not okay for the school or anyone to do this, but I see the law is not on her side, the US aren't big on privacy.

Putting an image up publicly is implicitly releasing it to the public. If you don't want your picture used, don't post it. There's no law issue here. It's not like the school raided her Dropbox, she put it out there. Maybe she'll give a little more thought to publicly posted data in the future.

It's sad how people use lawsuits in a money making scheme. Who freaking cares if they used her picture. I don't get why someone would legitimately not like that. I could see maybe being a tad annoyed they did not ask, but not more than that, and move on.

Anything I post on Facebook or any other site I post it with the acceptance that everyone can see it and that it potentially could be used by someone for something else. The minute you upload data to a corporation's server, they now own it.

the school admin did a good job of highlighting the privacy issue to his students. Do I feel sorry for that girl being made an example? ehh maybe. Hopefully the next group of students are more knowledgeable about their rights.

The way it looks to me, she posted it originally hoping all her friends would think it was cool, so that was OK. When it turned out someone used it to cast her in a potentially unflattering light, well, time to sue.

"Nobody has the right to make me feel bad about my own choices!"

Can't say her interview increased my sympathy level one iota.

Facebook should sue her for using their service to distribute pictures of her ugly face.
