Nude Cameron Diaz Photos A No Go

Last week a judge barred a photographer from
selling topless photographs of actress Cameron Diaz that were taken in
1992
Superior Court Judge Alan B. Haber granted
a permanent injunction against photographer John Rutter, barring him from
selling, possessing or publicizing the photos.
That is the least of the 41-year-old photographers
worries. Rutter currently faces criminal charges for attempted extortion,
attempted grand theft, forgery and perjury. Prosecutors allege that Rutter
tried to blackmail Diaz to the tune of $3.3 million dollars. He reportedly
told Diaz if she didnt pay up he would sell the photos a group in Europe.
When police raided Rutters apartment they
found the photos and seized them. They now reside in a safe deposit box.
Rutters attorney claims that the photographer
had a signed release from Diaz, which gave him permission to take and sell
the photographs. Prosecutors believe that Rutter forged the signature and
added a charge of forgery against him.
Rutter was arrested and later released
on $250,000 bail. He is scheduled for arraignment on December 8.
