Edwards ex-aide could get jail time in sex-tape case
RALEIGH (JournalNow.com) - A North Carolina judge will decide whether to jail a former John Edwards aide for contempt in the legal fight over a purported sex tape involving the 2008 presidential candidate.
Superior Court Judge Michael R. Morgan signed an order finding probable cause for criminal contempt charges against Andrew Young and his wife, Cheri Young, as well as the couple's lawyers.
The Youngs and their lawyers may have violated a protective order by giving prosecutors confidential documents, including sealed depositions, from a lawsuit Rielle Hunter filed against them, according to the order filed Thursday. Hunter, who is Edwards' former mistress, lived with the Youngs while she was pregnant, and at one point Andrew Young falsely claimed paternity of Edwards' child. She has sued the Youngs, claiming the sex tape is hers.
