I am not a lawyer but my lifestyle requires me to understand a little bit about IP law and my guess is it was probably fair use. If the person who spread those pictures did so in order to discuss the subject of those pictures and only distributed enough of the work to have that conversation within a reasonable context, that's at least somewhat likely to be called a fair use in court. To put it another way I don't think it's likely that the use of the work, to talk about some aspect of the work, will be denied a fair use defense.

I doubt it's really defamation either. There's a statement of fact that this woman is a sex worker of some description, followed by an opinion about this fact, that her position within the community is incompatible with her vocation. The person who wrote this letter has every right to express both of those things.

So where that leaves us is with her going after the school directly. Personally I hope she has enough of a case to at least push for a settlement that includes her legal fees and an apology. It's none of the school's business if she poses for erotic photos, and nothing she's done should disqualify her from participating in school related activities with her child.
