Is £38 million too much for nude film by stalker?

I personally think that the amount is obscene. Some dosh, maybe but not that amount.

I agree totally * Charleygirl*

no, i think it's almost landmark really. the sexism that women face in her line of work is already terrible, but I think this verdict makes a statement - that this treatment of women will not be tolerated. It's a sex crime and has been treated as such. Good, imho

also, it's really not as much as that figure leads you to believe since she'll never get any money from the filthy pervert who took and distributed the video on the internet. the other half will apparently come from the hotel she was staying in. from that half, the lawyers will take their (hefty) sum, then she'll be taxed on it, since there's been no physical injury. i read that she'll actually get something like $6m in the end.

I can't agree with youKaybh I still think $6 million is too much.

I think the only statement that verdict makes is we live in a litigious world and where there's blame there's a claim.

He can film me any time he likes for that amount of money . However, I think I'd probably have to pay him as it would not be suitable for those of a sensitive disposition.
Oh and wide screen of course

Alea. Loved that.

Alea that's outstanding

but so politically incorrect

In my opinion there's far too much political correctness Alea

fair play, to be filmed nude and put on the internet is vile by a stalker,
I'm none of us would like that.

It's not the money, it's the total invasion of privacy. If she had stripped off on a beach and someone had sneaked a photo that's fair play but to be filmed naked in a hotel room by some pervert deliberately is totally wrong. It needs to be a huge sum to make hotels more aware and to put off others who think they have the right to do this. As kaybh says, she won't get the money as the stalker hasn't got any.

If the film had been of me, they would be paying $38 million to have it removed from the site of have it filmed in soft focus......very soft focus.

Or not of

Excellent fund raising idea for us Grans - film ourselves cavorting in our far from scanties in easily recognised posh hotels and blackmail the owners to pay up or else we'll put the pics up on the internet!
