No, according to Ovid, Hesiod and other early writings, Athena DID curse Medusa, her priestess due to the fact that Poseidon and Medusa defiled her temple due to that 'act' OR according to Pseudo-Appolodorus Bibliotecha, Athena cursed her because Medusa had been willing to be compared with Athena in beauty. So either way, it is Athena, not Aphrodite. I haven't seen any reliable source pertaining about Aphrodite cursing Medusa.
