£24,000 fine for internet sex tape of ex
A jilted lover who sought revenge on his ex by releasing a sex video of her on the internet has been fined £24,000.
Ferdinand Holzl, 40, from Marburg in Germany, was convicted of criminal insult and trafficking in pornography after posting the video along with the 43-year-old woman's name, address and phone number.
He was given an 18-month suspended sentence as well as the huge fine.
In sentencing Judge Mirko Schulte from the Marburg county court said: "It's now technically impossible to delete these files off the internet after you fed her to the voyeurs."
