Background of the case 
Background and Facts 
James Francis LeGrow had sexual relations in his bedroom at different times with 
three different women. On each occasion, LeGrow secretly videotaped his sexual relations 
with them. One day, one of the women found a videotape on her side door that contained an 
unlabeled videotape which showed each of the women having sex with LeGrow. She called 
one of the other women, who obtained the tape and brought it to the police. When LeGrow 
was contacted by the police, he stated that he thought his girlfriend stole the videotape. The 
three women who were taped sued LeGrow in a civil action to obtain damages for invasion of 
privacy. The jury found LeGrow liable for the tort of invasion of privacy and awarded two of 
the women $100,000 and the third women $155,000. LeGrow appealed. 
Issue 
Did defendant LeGrow commit the tort of invasion of privacy? 
Court’s Reasoning 
The court of appeals held that LeGrow’s bedroom was a private place and that the 
women would have had a reasonable expectation of privacy while having consensual sexual 
relations with the defendant there. The court found that none of the women had expressly or 
impliedly consented to the videotaping of their activities. The court of appeals upheld the trial 
court’s finding of invasion of privacy and the award of damages to each of the women. 
Decision and Remedy 
The court of appeals held that the defendant had committed the tort of invasion of 
privacy. The court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. 
Things led to the ethical issue - Right to publicity 
Considering this case, we can say that the company had faced different ethical issues 
which led to this lawsuit. Each person has the exclusive legal right to control and profit from 
Lawsuit                                                                                                                                      3
the commercial use of his or her name and personality during his or her lifetime. This is a 
valuable right, particularly to well-known persons such as sports figures and movie stars. Any 
attempt by another person to appropriate a living person’s name or identity for commercial 
purposes is actionable. The wrongdoer is liable for the tort of misappropriation of the right to 
publicity (also called the tort of appropriation). In such cases,
