The operator of a dating site for people with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) faces paying out $16.5m (£10.4m) after losing a privacy case.

The owner of PositiveSingles was accused of sharing photos and profile details from its site with other dating services, despite promising a "confidential" service.

A jury found the Californian firm had broken local consumer laws.

It also decided the business was guilty of fraud, malice and oppression.
