Photographer in Diaz topless photo case sentenced

The photographer convicted of trying to sell topless pictures of Cameron Diaz after forging her signature on a contract was sentenced to nearly four years in prison yesterday.

John Rutter, who prosecutors accused of trying to blackmail Diaz for $3m (€2.45m) over the bondage-themed snapshots taken before she was famous, was found guilty in July of attempted grand theft, forgery and perjury.
