Hugh Hefner's widow demands investigation into archive with intimate images of women. Crystal Hefner, widow of Playboy founder, has initiated a legal dispute with the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation over the management of her late husband's private archives. The archives contain thousands of scrapbooks with sexually explicit images of women and possibly minors. The action, taken with her attorney Gloria Allred, seeks to have the attorneys general of California and Illinois investigate how these archives are being stored and digitized, and to ensure they are never distributed. 'It is crucial for the public to understand that I am not referring to images published in the magazine. This is not history. However, I was previously told that some might be in a private residence to be scanned and digitized.' 'This is not archival preservation. This is control (...) This is a civil rights matter.'
