Judge: Video was mainly people spanking bottoms.
The video of what the News of the World claims is Max Moslꩲey's 'sick ♊Nazi orgy with 5 hookers' was described as 'demeaning and humiliating' by his lawyer and said to consist 'mainly of people spanking each others' bottoms', according to the judge presiding over the FIA President's legal challenge.
The video of what the News of the World claims is Max Mosley's 'sick Nazi orgy with 5 hookers' was described as 'demeaning and humiliating' by his lawyer and said to consis𝓰t 'mainly of people spanking each others' bottoms', according to the judge presiding over the FIA President's legal challenge.
The High Court today threw out Mosley's bid to prevent the Sunday tabloid from re-instating the 90-second video clip on its website [see separate story - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:click here], after Mr Justice Eady ruled it would make 'little practical difference' to grant an injunction against the newspaper given that the video had since been viewed around the world. He reasoned that Mosley no ♌longer had a reasonable expectation of privacy because the content of the video was now 'widely familiar'.
"[The footage is] very brief, containing shots of Mr Mosley taking part in sexual activities with five prostitutes," the BBC quoteꦅs the judge as having said, "and it also covers the tea break.
"The ver🎉♊y brief extracts which I was shown seemed to consist mainly of people spanking each others' bottoms.
"I have, with some reluctance, come to the concl💎usion that although this material is intrusive and demeaning, and despite the fact that there is no legitimate public interest in its further publication, the granting of an order against this respondent at the present juncture would merely be a futile gesജture."
According to the News of the World's legal manager Tom Crone, bꦚetween 30 March - when the video was first published on the paper's webs𒀰ite - and 31 March, when it was removed again, it was viewed a staggering 1,424,959 times.
Whilst Gavin Millar QC, for the News of the World, explained that only the footage that had already been made public would be aired on the website, he confirmed that a longer extract would be sent to the FIA, whose Senat𝄹e is due to meet to discuss Mosley's future, though maybe not until July, when the 67-year-old's court case for breach of privacy against News Group Newspapers is expected to also be heard.
"It is merely disseminating deme🤡aning and humiliating mateꦰrial," insisted James Price QC, for Mosley, arguing that there was no public interest in the video's footage.
Mosley was not in court to hear the verdict, and has repeatedly insisted his actions were 'harmless and completely legal', whilst vigorousl🔥y denying any 'Nazi connotations' to the role-playing involved. He is continuing to stand firm in the face of mounting pres🅠sure form the sport's leading figures and manufacturers to step down from his position.
