David Beckham sues magazine for sex gossip

London : Counsels for former England captain David Beckham have moved a lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging that a magazine had intentionally published that the football star had sex with the prostitutes.

The case was filed at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday accusing Delaware-based Bauer Publishing Company LP and its affiliates of libel, slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress for the In Touch magazine article.

The suit named 26-year-old Irma Nici, who was quoted as saying she was a call girl who slept with Beckham five times in 2007. She also claimed that England’s superstar midfielder had slept with a second prostitute.
