LP actor Verne Troyer has sex tape pulled

Verne Troyer



From The Seattle Times:

Actor Verne Troyer, best known for his portrayal of Mini-Me in the 'Austin Powers' films, successfully shut down, for now, the distribution of a sex tape featuring him and a former girlfriend. The celebrity Web site TMZ posted a 25-second snippet of the video June 25, but pulled the clips June 27 after a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order requested by Troyer's attorneys. The ruling also prevents any attempt by a porn distributor from taking orders for the full 50-minute video. Troyer has filed a lawsuit seeking $20 million in damages and the return of all copies of the tape. Troyer claims the sex tape he made with a former girlfriend was stolen from his home a few months ago. The judge's temporary order expires July 7.
