Mosley wins court case over orgy


World motorsport boss Max Mosley has won a legal action against a Sunday newspaper that claimed he took part in a Nazi-style orgy with prostitutes.

The High Court ruled the News of the World did breach Mr Mosley's privacy, awarding him £60,000 in damages.

The 68-year-old admitted a consensual sadomasochistic sex session with five prostitutes at a London flat in March, but denied that it had a Nazi theme.

The paper's story was based on a secret video from one of the women.

At the High Court, Mr Justice Eady did not make the unprecedented award of punitive exemplary damages that had been sought by Mr Mosley.

Mr Mosley is president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), the governing body for sports such as Formula 1.

He is also the son of the 1930s Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley.
