Shania Geiss wins in court

A young man has been sentenced to a fine for inventing an affair with reality TV star Shania Geiss (20). The judge imposed a fine of 90 daily rates of 30 euros each on the 24-year-old for defamation at Heilbronn district court. As both the public prosecutor's office and the defendant waived their right to appeal, the sentence is already legally binding. Geiss said after the verdict: “To be honest, I hope that the matter is now closed with the conviction. The issue has haunted me for far too long and it may be difficult for outsiders to imagine how much it hurts one's dignity and soul when one has to suffer such exposure in public.”
