He was charged with the death of a young teenage model in his studio, wasn't he? I don't recall if it was murder or manslaughter, but IIRC, there was a charge of administering a noxious substance as well. It was alleged (again, IIRC) that he drugged a model, and did all sorts of kinky things with her, and that the drug caused her death. A couple of years ago when I was briefly on Leica User's Group, on of the list members there was a lawyer who ended up representing him. I don't know if that fellow's still his lawyer, or if his matter ever came to trial or was otherwise resolved. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
