US court rejects David Beckham libel case

16 Feb 2011

David Beckham’s libel case against In Touch magazine has been thrown out of an American court. Beckham brought the £15.5m lawsuit over an article which alleged that he had paid for sex with a prostitute. He sought USD25m in compensation. The judge accepted that the article was innaccurate but could not establish malice on the facts of the case. This is required under US law, although a German court has found in their favour and awarded damages.  He intends to appeal the decision.

    Obviously telling lies in America is not malicious.
    This is good as I know for a fact that the Judge is a Paedophile.
