RALEIGH, N.C. -- 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.

Edwards loves himself so much that it’s a tape of him masterbating!
Rielle Hunter really wants to see who Edwards was cheating on her with !!
Ambulance Chaser got caught chasing improperly.... Gotta love it!
No, I don't think so.
1.Imagine John Edwards had become President.
2.Imagine the PRC (Chinese) Intelligence service obtains the tape for say, 1 million in cash.
3. Imagine the blackmail demands that would be made on “The President”
I don’t even want to think about that guy having sex and especially on tape!
This story just keeps getting more and more sordid.
Why exactly does the court want this tape? If it is evidence, for what charge?
Wow!
How many millions is she going to cost him??
Edwards is so smart, that he must have skipped kindergarten.
That’s when they teach little boys to keep their pee-pee in their pants!
Young has already acknowledged that he have the FBI a copy of the tape. Apparently, it's material evidence in an ongoing campaign-finance investigation. I doubt an order from this judge is going to compel the FBI to give up their copy, at least in the short-term.
2.Imagine the PRC (Chinese) Intelligence service obtains the tape for say, 1 million in cash.
3. Imagine the blackmail demands that would be made on “The President”
At least we'd get the million in cash - as opposed to O'bama, where we accede to all their demands for nothing...
Who uses tape these days? Everything is digital now.
Rielle Hunter.....GUILTY!
The FOI request is going to be priceless.
Hunter sued Young and won. This is the judge who heard that complaint. He has issued an order compelling Young to turn over to Hunter the original and all copies.
The media loves this former Edwards aide, but let’s face it the guy is pure scum. He participated in the cover up. Then he pocketed this sex tape, which he has no right to that I can imagine. He’s making millions and obviously wanted to make millions more with the sex tape.
Extortion would be my guess.
Luckily for Edwards (and the public, IMHO) materials gathered in ongoing federal investigations are exempted from FOIA requests.
