Olympic hero Tom Daley’s boyfriend was furious after a sex tape of him and an ex-lover was leaked on the internet.
Oscar-winning American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black – named last week as the 19 year old driver love interest – found the intimate video could be viewed on a US gossip website.
The tape, shot in November 2006 before Dustin, 39, found success, shows him having unprotected sex with a former boyfriend called Jeff Delancy.
Stills were leaked to the Perez Hilton site in June 2009, after Dustin won a screenwriting Oscar for gay rights film Milk, starring Sean Penn.
The photos then spread to other sites.
Dustin, one of the most high profile gay men in Hollywood and a campaigner for safe sex, released a statement telling of his embarrassment.
He said: “It is unfortunate that individuals are trying to profit from material which is clearly private.
"More important is the misleading message the images send.”
A £1.8million lawsuit for invasion of privacy was filed and most sites removed the material.
