HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. -- John Edwards' former mistress has settled a lawsuit and won ownership of a purported sex tape of the former presidential candidate during his bid for the White House.
A spokesperson for Rielle Hunter told ABC11 the agreement returns the "disputed property" to Hunter and declared the settlement a victory.
"Ms. Hunter is very pleased. She won," RoseMarie Terenzio told WTVD-TV in Raleigh.
Hunter filed suit against a former Edwards aide, Andrew Young, in 2010 over ownership of several items, including a purported sex video that Hunter claimed she made in 2006 while working for Edwards.
Hunter lived with the Youngs in 2007, while she was pregnant with Edwards' baby.
In a court settlement filed Thursday, the Youngs agreed to give up their claim on the property, which has been held in the vault of a North Carolina courthouse.
A book published by Andrew Young has described what's on the tape.
