Sex vid suit tossed
Rocker Scott Stapp named in lawsuit
MIAMI -- An invasion of privacy lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she participated in a sex video with Scott Stapp and Kid Rock was dismissed by a judge who said the woman cannot sue if she remains anonymous.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Gerald Hubbart told a lawyer for the woman, identified only as "Jane Doe" in court papers, that she could refile the lawsuit within 20 days if she is willing to have her real name included.
"There's no showing on why the claim should be allowed to proceed under a fictitious name," Hubbart said.
The woman claimed in the lawsuit that she was the "star" of a group of women who appeared in the video with Kid Rock and Stapp. The lawsuit sought to prevent sale of the video and unspecified damages. It named distributor World Wide Red Light District and Stapp as defendants, but not Kid Rock.
