Mosley's German 'not war related' Mosley acted out 'prison fantasy'
(30 minutes later)
Motor-sport boss Max Mosley has told a court he spoke German during a sexual encounter with prostitutes because it was a "harsh-sounding" language. One of the women who took part in a sadomasochistic session with motorsport boss Max Mosley has denied there was any Nazi role-play.
He said his choice of the language during a sado-masochistic session was "nothing to do with the war." Instead, the witness, known as "Woman D", told the High Court that what had happened had been a "prison fantasy".
Mr Mosley is taking legal action against the News of the World which alleged he had engaged in a "sick Nazi orgy with five hookers." Mr Mosley is taking legal action against the News of the World which alleged he had engaged in a "sick Nazi orgy with five hookers".
He is suing the paper in the High Court for defamation and invasion of privacy. He is suing the newspaper for defamation and invasion of privacy.
Woman D, a dark-haired student in her 20s who cannot be identified, said: "I did not see anything Nazi".
'Horrified'
She added that when she discovered that one of the other women taking part in the session had secretly filmed it, she was "horrified".
I had never had lice-checking before but went with the flow. I didn't find it particularly erotic Max Mosley
She said: "I didn't think that anyone on the scene would do anything like that."
She burst into tears as she told the court that those involved would try to "make sure everything remains secret".
Earlier, Mr Mosley said that at no time did he or woman A, who arranged the "parties" like the one in the Chelsea basement flat on March 28, ever use the word Nazi in their discussions.
He said that a Nazi theme would have been "abhorrent" to him.
He added: "I suspect that none of the women would wish to take part should anyone suggest such a theme."
Black boots
Before the court went into private to view a videotape of a similar scenario, which occurred on March 8, Mr Mosley agreed that the March 28 session involved women wearing black jackets, black boots and a black cap, but denied any Nazi aspect.
He said: "Had I wanted a Nazi scene, I would have said I wanted one and A would have got some of the inexpensive Nazi stuff from the joke shop that provides uniforms and would not have gone to Marks and Spencer and got quite expensive jackets."
He said that if he had asked for a Nazi theme, he would have been deeply disappointed to be greeted, as he was, with the phrase "Welcome to Chelsea" rather than "Brandenburg Tur".
Mr Mosley told Mark Warby QC, for the News of the World, that the head-lice checking and shaving involved in the scenario was "the kind of thing these people do all the time".
He said: "I had never had lice-checking before but went with the flow. I didn't find it particularly erotic."
'Harsh-sounding'
Mr Mosley, the 68-year-old son of the 1930s Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley, said that he spoke German during the session.
But he said this was not for any war-related reasons, but because it was a language that suited his dominant role.
He said: "German also somehow sounds appropriate for a bossy dominant character. It is a harsh-sounding - rather than a romantic - language."
Mr Mosley says that his life was devastated by the News of the World story and is asking for an unprecedented award of punitive exemplary damages.
News Group Newspapers, which published the News of the World, is contesting the action, arguing that publication was justified in the public interest.
