LOS ANGELES - THE owner of an air charter service has been ordered to pay an attorney and his associate more than US$11 million (S$15.3 million) for ordering secret videotaping of them as they flew with Michael Jackson to his surrender on molestation charges in 2003.
A lawyer for XtraJet owner Jeffrey Borer says he will appeal the judgment.
Borer and a co-defendant pleaded guilty in 2006 to conspiracy for installing digital cameras aboard an XtraJet plane that flew Jackson from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara.
The damages awarded Monday resulted from an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed by attorney Mark Geragos.
