CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge has ordered eight companies and three people to pay $506 million to 46 college athletes secretly videotaped in the buff, with the images sold over the Internet.
The athletes had sued over the footage. After the defendants failed to show up in court since at least 2000, a federal judge granted the students a default judgment.
The videotapes were made in locker rooms, rest rooms and showers during athletic competitions on several campuses and sold through Internet sites advertising "hot younger dudes."
