Hudgens 'facing second nude pic scandal'

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is reportedly facing a second photograph scandal after images allegedly showing her naked surfaced online.

The batch of pictures, which are reported to show the 20-year-old actress in various states of undress in her bedroom, are believed to have been snapped using a mobile phone camera.

According to Perez Hilton, who reposted the images on his website, lawyers for Hudgens later requested that they be removed because she was underage when they were taken.

Back in 2007, the star was forced to apologise to fans after a topless photograph of herself was leaked on the internet. She later branded the incident "very traumatic" and "extremely" upsetting.

A source added to E! Online: "She learned her lesson. She hasn't done anything like that since the first ones came out. These new ones are actually old."

Hudgens's representatives have yet to comment on the legitimacy of the latest images.
