RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina judge wants security
officers to accompany a former John Edwards aide as he goes to
retrieve a sex tape of his former boss.
Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones said in an order
released Monday that the Orange County sheriff has appointed a
security firm to help recover the video and other items. Former
Edwards loyalist Andrew Young has said he has the original tape and
copies stored in an Atlanta safety deposit box. Jones wants the
security officer to accompany Young into the vault.
Jones has declared Young was in contempt for not immediately
turning over the tape. Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, has sued
Young for invasion of privacy. Young says the tape shows Edwards
in a sexual encounter with a woman he assumes to be Hunter.
