50 Cent to pay $2 million more to woman whose sex tape he published online


A Manhattan jury on Friday has ordered rapper 50 Cents to  pay Lastonia Leviston $2 million in punitive damages on top of the $5 million they already found he should pay her for posting her sex tape online for millions to see.
"I've been served justice by the courts and vindicated by God," a beaming Leviston said afterwards.As for her tormentor  who was not in court she said, "I hope he learned a lesson."The $2 million award was less than the $15 million Leviston's lawyer had asked for earlier in the day, but more than the $700,000 than 50's lawyers had recommended."We had to compromise. Some wanted (to award) more, some wanted less," said the jury foreman, Tom Evans, 72.

Now 50 Cents who have earlier filed for bankruptcy is even more poorer.
