Aussie Call Girl’s Secrets Censored

 

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

 

      An Australian Supreme Court judge on Monday (Feb. 19, 2007) banned an infamous prostitute from revealing salacious details about a prominent Sydney lawyer.

      Call girl Marie Christos, 43, was in Australia’s high court Monday carrying her “engagement” book, according to The Daily Telegraph of Sydney. But it was another document, referred to simply as “exhibit A,” that commercial law attorney Keith Rewell, 51, sought to have censored. The document listed Rewell and other prominent Australian attorneys, but further details were not revealed, according to The Daily Telegraph.

      Justice John Hamilton ordered the document sealed, held in court and ordered Christos not to reveal anything about the paper.

    "I order [Christos] be permanently restrained from publishing, or causing to be published to any person, any material concerning [Mr Rewell] contained in exhibit A, or any material to the same or similar effect," Hamilton ordered.

      Christos became part of a controversy involving another Australian jurist, retired Federal Court Justice Marcus Einfeld, according to the Herald Sun newspaper. Einfeld was photographed on police cameras speeding in his car. However, he contested the tickets, signing documents that claimed a U.S. professor had been driving his car when the photos were taken by the automatic cameras. Einfeld had been represented by attorney Michael Ryan. Ryan had been one of Christos clients, according to The Daily Telegraph.

      Christos, spurned by Ryan, dug through his trash and found documents that showed the U.S. professor was dead when she was supposed to be driving Einfeld’s car. Christos turned over the papers to authorities. Police are now investigating Einfeld for allegedly lying about the tickets.

    “It's a storm in a teacup. They've made a mountain out of a molehill,” Christos said.
