closeMotor racing boss 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, 68, 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.
