I am pretty republican in my sentiments. I have only read a bit about it in the German press. However, I wonder what kind of a creep can have so little self respect that he is willing to put himself out in order to take photos of a woman, who believes she is in private, naked - or near naked - so that he can sell them. The fact that it was a famous person makes it no less despicable than if he had been spying on your wife. It is contemptible behaviour in my book. The paparrazzi seem to be competing to find new lows to sink to.
