Last update - 15:46 26/07/2008 Woman who filmed racing chief Mosley orgy apologizes for trouble it caused By The Associated Press Tags: germany, max mosley  The woman who filmed motor racing chief Max Mosley taking part in a sado-masochistic orgy and sold the story to a British tabloid newspaper has apologized for the trouble it caused. On Thursday, Mosley, 68, won 60,000 pounds in damages at London's High Court from the News of the World newspaper for breaching his privacy by reporting details of a German-themed sex session with five prostitutes. Advertisement The paper's story, which claimed Mosley, son of Britain's 1930s Fascist leader Oswald Mosley, had taken part in a "sick Nazi orgy" was based on footage captured by one of the women involved in the sex session, referred to in court as "Woman E". In an interview with Sky News, she said there had been no Nazi element and was sorry for the trouble it had caused Mosley, president of Formula One's governing body. "It was never talked about that it was going to be a Nazi scene, we just had confirmation to say that it was going to be a German prison scenario," the self-confessed dominatrix said. "I can only apologize for what has happened but it's not going to take back all the damage that has been done." The woman, a mother-of-two 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. "He decided that the best thing to do was just be right and resign and save them any embarrassment," she said. Mosley has filed a lawsuit against the publisher of Germany's largest newspaper, contending that his sex acts with several prostitutes did not have a Nazi theme. According to the lawsuit, Mosley is demanding $1.57 million from Bild newspaper and $783,850 from its online edition in damages for their text ,photo and video reports on Mosley's sadomasochistic encounter in March. Mosley is president of the FIA, the motorsport world governing body. He is the son of the late Oswald Mosley, Britain's best-known fascist politician in the 1930s, who had Adolf Hitler as a guest at his wedding. Mosley won a privacy-invasion lawsuit Thursday over the News of the World claim that his sex games had a Nazi connotation, and High Court judge David Eady ruled that the tabloid must pay Mosley $120,000 in damages plus legal costs for the story. Mosley's legal costs are estimated at about $900,000. The newspaper must also pay its own legal costs of about $800,000. The 68-year-old Mosley admits the encounter with sex workers, but says it was private and there were no Nazi overtones. The prosecutor's office in Berlin opened an investigation based on Mosley's lawsuit, spokeswoman Simone Herbeth said Friday. The lawsuit is over breach of trust, violations of copyright laws and fraud, claiming Axel Springer AG, publisher of Bild, had spent money for illegal purposes by paying for the video and photos of the orgy.
