(Max) Mosley Wins Court Case Over Orgy
Source: BBC

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.

His father was the 1930s fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley.

British sex scandals always make me feel soooooo naive.

"Mr Mosley admitted a sado-masochistic sex session with five prostitutes, but denied that it had a Nazi theme."

The Nazi stuff was more like a design element, not so much a "theme."

Duh! Little hard to "look the other way" on THIS one!

I do feel sorry for his kids, though.

9. The substantive issue of Nazi-related evidence was pulled after
the main witness, a hooker married to a MI5 officer, withdrew - citing emotional and mental crisis.

From the Guardian:

The woman who agreed to film Mosley for a fee of £25,000 (later reduced to £12,000), but then failed to testify on behalf of the News of the World against him, is a professional dominatrix who owns a house in Milton Keynes with a "dungeon" which she uses for her S&M activities. The court heard it was Woman E's husband who first approached Thurlbeck with a story about Mosley's secret sex life. It later transpired that the husband was an MI5 officer. He was forced to resign over his association with the Mosley scandal.

10. I think this is good news.
I think privacy rights are important, and that there is no possible way that reporting about Max Mosely's sex life could be held to be in the public interest.

11. He's a public figure representing an International institution..
...the fact that he acts out holocaust fantasies is of MAJOR relevance to the governing bodies of motor sport around the world...

The fact that the total twat of a judge didn't see any holocaust or Nazi references as Max canes a "prisoner" using a fake German accent, and then has his head inspected for lice before he himself gets thrashed is beyond belief...although I wouldn't be surprised if that wig wearing fool used the same person for similar treatment...

12. His sex life is entirely irrelevant to his professional capacity.
I don't give a damn whether the references were Nazi or not; they were not in the public interest and the News of the Screws should not have been permitted to publish them.

13. I think a Nazi fetish for someone in charge of an international organisation would be relevant
You'd have to suspect them of racism, anti-semitism, and more. Whether what the evidence showed was obviously Nazi or not, I don't know - I didn't follow the reports closely neough to know.

14. I couldn't disagree more...the head of an international organization gets off on pretending...
....to be a nazi is NOT relevant to their position in public life? Ask the German Auto Racing body (the ADAC) what they think of that...

You must be mad...

PLUS...he was screwing five whores...his lack of morals also isn't in the public interest?

I disagree....
