Bonnie Hannah had no idea there were revealing photos of her posted publicly on the internet until CBC News contacted her for this story. Her nearly nude image is among dozens being traded by strangers.

Anonymous people speculate about her ability in bed. One offered cash to anyone who could snag a photo of her completely naked.

Hannah's personal email address is even posted beneath photos that showcase her cleavage.

Her face blanched when she was told what was posted online.

"Why? Why would they want to do that?" she asked.

"It's not fair. It's not right."

Posting nude images dubbed 'wins'

Hannah is one of dozens of women in the Montreal area whose pictures are posted on this message board, apparently without their consent, for anyone to ogle and download.

In all, 238 images have been posted — some in which the women are naked, some almost naked — over a period of six months.

CBC News is not naming the website to avoid driving up traffic.

The Montreal thread is one of many Canadian threads. Most major cities in Canada — as well as some campuses, including McGill University — have similar message boards, where those who go to the site are encouraged to post pictures of local women.

McGill
A McGill University thread exists to solicit suggestive images of women who attend the institution.

Those posting the photos use their own vocabulary — language that reflects their lack of regard for the women depicted in the photos.

Posting nude images — or "wins," to use the board's nomenclature — is discussed by users as though it's a sport.

In some posts, people ask for photos of specific women the person posting claims to know personally. Others say they'll "dump" their archive of pictures if others do the same.

"Julie I went to school with her," says the writer of one post. "Hoping for a win on her or her friend Tiffany."
