Injured man wins damages for sex overdrive
LONDON (Reuters) - A devout Christian who said an
accident at work boosted his libido and wrecked his
marriage as he turned to prostitutes and pornography
was awarded more than 3 million pounds ($5.89 million)
in damages Tuesday.
Stephen Tame, 29, from Suffolk, suffered severe head
injuries in a fall, transforming him from a loyal
newlywed into a "disinhibited" character who had two
affairs.
He was in a coma for two months after falling from a
gantry while working at a bicycle warehouse shortly
after his marriage in January 2002. Doctors said it
was a miracle he survived.
Awarding him 3.1 million pounds in compensation at
London's High Court, Judge Michael Harris said: "His
life and the life of his young wife were shattered."
His former employer, Professional Cycle Marketing, of
Essex, had argued through their lawyers that his
injuries were not as bad as suggested in court.
