Halle Berry has filed a criminal complaint against a paparazzi who she says trespassed on her private property to take pictures of her four-month-old baby, Nahla Ariela Aubry.

Halle Berry, says the pictures that were published in two magazines and are available on the Internet, were taken in her backyard.  The pictures were described as being taken when Berry was, "out and about in Los Angeles."

Berry, who has not sold photos of her baby, said, "I have long since come to terms with the fact that choosing a career as an actress has made me a public figure, but my baby has made no such choice, and unless and until she does, I will do everything I can to keep her out of the public eye."

Quite why anyone believed these photos were taken in a public place is hard to say.  The planting is very well kept and there is upholstered patio furniture in the pictures, as well as a laptop sitting unaccompanied on a ironwork table.  These magazines must be used to screening out photos taken illegally, and I’m surprised these weren’t identified as such.
