World motorsport boss Max Mosley has won a legal action against a Sunday newspaper over claims an orgy he took part in had Nazi overtones. The High Court ruled the News of the World did breach Mr Mosley's privacy, awarding him £60,000 in damages. Mr Justice Eady said he could expect privacy for consensual "sexual activities (albeit unconventional)". Mr Mosley admitted a sado-masochistic sex session with five prostitutes, but denied that it had a Nazi theme.
World motorsport boss Max Mosley has won a legal action against a Sunday newspaper over claims an orgy he took part in had Nazi overtones.
The High Court ruled the News of the World did breach Mr Mosley's privacy, awarding him £60,000 in damages.
Mr Justice Eady said he could expect privacy for consensual "sexual activities (albeit unconventional)".
Mr Mosley admitted a sado-masochistic sex session with five prostitutes, but denied that it had a Nazi theme.
At the High Court, Mr Justice Eady said ... The "bondage, beating and domination" that did take place was "typical of S&M behaviour", he said.
Of course, it´s the press´ fault that his family is hurt, not mosley´s behavior.... <snark>
The 68-year-old says his life has been devastated by the News of the World story and the posting of the video footage on its website. He told the court that the publicity had been "totally devastating" for his wife of 48 years, and he could think of "nothing more undignified or humiliating" for his two sons to experience.

But the third brooked no competition...
