    According to the AP - Max Mosley won an invasion of privacy suit Thursday against a tabloid newspaper that claimed he took part in a Nazi orgy.

    High Court judge David Eady ruled the News of the World must pay Mosley $120,000 in damages, plus legal costs of an estimated $1.7 million, for the story claiming Mosley participated in a sadomasochistic sex romp with a Third Reich theme.


    Mosley has acknowledged he participated in an encounter with sex workers in a basement apartment in London, but says it was private and that there were no Nazi overtones.

    Does he also anticipate that the record will be rewritten now that this most public matter is now to be considered 'private'?

    Hmm. Would Steppney's text messages and de la Rosa's emails also be considered "private" under this theory? :p

    The woman who sold her story about Max Mosley's involvement in an S&M orgy to the News of the World has insisted that there was no Nazi theme to the party.

    Mosley won a privacy action against the News of the World over their claims he was involved in a sex party that had Nazi overtones.

    The judge dismissed the newspaper's allegations, however, and awarded Mosley £60,000 damages plus costs.

    And now the woman who filmed the orgy and sold her story to the newspaper has apologised for her behaviour - and rubbished any suggestion of a Nazi element to proceedings.

    "No money is worth the sort of trouble and anguish it's caused everybody," the prostitute known only as Woman E told Sky News. "I have been stupid, naive and I wish I'd never done it."

    She added: "I know for a fact, that it was spoken about, that Max actually found it quite a turn-on to speak to them in German. He liked the German language. It was prison uniforms because we were doing a German prison scene. But it wasn't Nazi."

    Woman E claims that she insisted all along to the newspaper that there was no Nazi element to the party - but that did not stop them printing an interview with her that claimed otherwise.

    "I constantly told them that I didn't want to put my name to that. I would never have said it was Nazi - I would never have said he was a liar. There was lots in that second article that didn't come from me.

    "I signed the article but I was put under massive pressure as I was told I would be put on the front cover and basically they would do a story on me anyway."
