A West Vancouver businessman is suing his former lover after discovering she videotaped their sex acts and showed them to her ex-husband.
In a B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit, the man known only as C.P.G. claims he had no idea he was being videotaped while he and the woman were "intimately engaged."
C.P.G. claimed he later learned that while his girlfriend was married, she would tape sex acts with other men and allow her husband to watch them.
"On some occasions, the husband, to the knowledge of the defendant, would assault such men following his viewing of the intimate acts," said the statement of claim.
The lawsuit, filed last week, also claimed the relationship ended in August 2001 when the woman's ex-husband brutally assaulted C.P.G. in his own home.
"At all material times, the defendant was aware of the [videotaping] ... but knowingly or recklessly concealed these facts from the plaintiff," the court documents allege.
C.P.G. claims that had the woman, a schoolteacher, warned him about her videotaping habit, he wouldn't have entered into the relationship.
He's suing for damages for invasion of privacy, conspiracy to injury, battery, deceit, pain and suffering, loss of income and loss of earning capacity.
None of the claims have been proven in court. A statement of defence had not yet been filed.
