Apr.30 (GMM) A French judge on Tuesday ordered the recall of newspapers within the country that famously depict Max Mosley with prostitutes.



Judge Joel Boyer, however, ruled that he could not restrict French access to the British newspaper News of the World's online video of the Mosley romp because it was not within his jurisdiction.



"The mere fact that this site is accessible from France - like all others on the web - is not enough to justify French jurisdiction," he said.



Judge Boyer said newspapers that did not comply with the recall order would be issued 1500 euro fines per infraction.



He added that Mosley's sex life deserved protection under privacy laws.



"Sexual practices between consenting adults are among the most intimate aspects of private life, with its element of shadow and mystery that no one should be forced to explain to a third party," Boyer wrote.
