| 1983: | After claiming the previous day to have a videotape showing six "friends and appointees" of the Reagan administration, including one Congressman, engaged in group sex with three women, lawyer Robert K. Steinberg now states that the tape has been stolen. Soon after, HUSTLER publisher Larry Flynt claims that Steinberg had agreed to sell him the tape for one million dollars and then failed to show up at the agreed time. Steinberg denies this. Few believe he ever had such a tape, and the Beverly Hills police say they want to charge him with filing a false police report, but Marvin Pancoast, recently charged with the murder of Vicki Morgan (allegedly one of the women in the video) says that some kind of tapes do exist. Steinberg is pulled into court with a subpoena for the tapes, and takes the fifth amendment when questioned about them. |
