Woman sorry for Mosley scandal
The woman who filmed motor racing chief Max Mosley taking part in an orgy and sold the story to a British tabloid newspaper has apologized for the trouble it caused.
Mosley, 68, won $120,000 in damages Thursday from the News of the World newspaper for breaching his privacy by reporting details of a German-themed session with five prostitutes.
The paper’s story, which claimed that Mosley, son of Britain’s 1930s Fascist leader Oswald Mosley, had taken part in a “sick Nazi orgy,” was based on video made by one of the women involved, referred to in court as “Woman E.”
In an interview with Sky News, she said there had been no Nazi element.
The woman, who Sky said was called Michelle, said the scandal had also forced her husband to quit his job as an agent for Britain’s MI5 security service.
