US: A sex video made by Irish actor Colin Farrell and a Playboy Playmate has surfaced on the internet despite a court injunction blocking its release.
Word of the website carrying the video featuring Farrell and his then-girlfriend, Nicole Narain, Playboy magazine's Miss January 2002, spread rapidly on the internet on Tuesday although the site itself then became unavailable for viewing. Other web sites posted what they claimed were video stills of Farrell and Narain engaged in sex acts.
The website reportedly said: "Colin tried to stop us from showing you this. . . Well, here it is anyways."
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge had issued a restraining order in July after Farrell's lawyers filed suit, temporarily blocking the public release of the video, which was made about two years ago. David Hans Schmidt, the celebrity porn broker who was among the defendants in Farrell's suit, has denied he had anything to do with the unauthorised release of the tape.
