Law students were left stunned after their school library was taken over by scantily-clad models posing for a raunchy new lingerie advert.
Clothing label Diesel hired the room in Brooklyn Law School for a photo shoot to launch its new underwear range.
Expecting a tasteful jeans advertisement, the school officials who gave the shoot the go-ahead claimed they were duped after they saw the images of writhing young models in skimpy lingerie.
One female student told the New York Post : 'It's gross. I work on those computers every day.'

In an e-mail to students, faculty and staff, dean Michael Gerber wrote: 'We are as shocked and mortified as you must be by these photographs.
'When the school gave its permission to do the shoot, the school was assured that the photos would be in good taste. They are not.'
The photos, shot last spring, show both male and female models lying on top of each other wearing underwear bearing various seductive messages.
One students wears, "Today I am your school teacher," while another pair responds, "Tonight I am your student".
First-year student Jordan Hersch, 22, told the New York Post: 'I thought the ad was disgusting, for a law institution to have people in their underwear where we study and work is unbecoming of a law institution.'
Brooklyn Law was paid an undisclosed fee by Diesel -- which had hired an ad company for the shoot -- for use of the library during spring break last March, a school spokeswoman said. The school previously has done such deals with TV and movie productions.
"Our understanding was that they were going to be doing a shoot for jeans, not intimates," the spokeswoman said.
A spokesman for Diesel, an Italy-based apparel company, declined to comment.
