Lennon's PA exploited Beatle, claims lawyer

John Lennon’s former personal assistant exploited the ex-Beatle and his wife Yoko Ono by stealing priceless family photos and mementos, then selling them to collectors, a lawyer claimed today.

A lawsuit against the assistant, Frederic Seaman, “is about how John and Yoko put their trust in Mr Seaman’s hands, and how he betrayed that trust”, Ono’s lawyer Paul LiCalsi, said in opening statements at a Manhattan civil trial.
