Sexual-abuse allegations
In March 2010, Richardson faced allegations that he routinely sexually abused models he had worked with.[3][4] Danish model and filmmaker Rie Rasmussen publicly accused Richardson of habitually exploiting and sexually abusing the models he photographs. In 2010 she stated to the New York Post, "he abuses his power to put young girls into compromising positions [...] [they] are too young to stand up for themselves." She also said that he had published an image of her in his book TerryWorld without her permission. [2] In March 2010, Jezebel stated that "Richardson, like any predator, is a powerful individual who manipulates and victimizes the weak. When they speak out against him, people try to silence them."[5][6]
In interviews, Richardson has confirmed his behaviour. "At first, I'd just want to do a few nude shots, so I'd take off my clothes, too … I'd even give the camera to the model and get her to shoot me for a while. It's about creating a vibe, getting people relaxed and excited. When that happens you can do anything. I don't think I'm a sex addict, but I do have issues. Maybe it's the psychological thing that I was a shy kid, and now I'm this powerful guy with his boner, dominating all these girls".[3] An interview had been published in the September 2004 edition of The New York Observer where Richardson stated "It's comedy.

You can have the phallus.' [...] and since I'm in so many of the pictures, aren't I objectifying myself a bit?"[7]
Amateur model Jamie Peck, who posed for Richardson at age 19, wrote in 2010 that during her work, she was prepared to be photographed nude, she had not been expecting Richardson to be naked with her.
