Topless Kate photos charges filed

French authorities filed charges against a magazine publisher who distributed -- and a photographer who allegedly took -- the photos of a topless Kate Middleton last September.

Two people involved in the publication of topless photos of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, last year have been formally charged with invasion of privacy. Ernesto Mauri, a chief executive of the publishing house Mondadori, was charged for allowing the topless photos to be published in the French edition of the Mondadori-owned Closer Magazine in September, the Telegraph reported.
A photographer for the regional paper La Provence, Valerie Suau, has also been charged for taking photos of Kate in a swimsuit.
La Provence did not publish the scandal-inciting nude images, and investigators are still trying to conclude if Suau took the topless photos sold to Closer.
Suau is "not concerned" over the charges, a source at La Provence said, and has admitted to taking the bikini photos but not topless.
The investigation has been run by French authorities, who were asked by St. James's Palace to investigate after the photos appeared in September from the Duke and Duchess's vacation at a French villa.

Cavaliers need to give up dream of 2014 reunion with LeBron James

 From the moment Mike Brown marches back into the Cleveland Cavaliers, ownership needs to empower him to tell everyone the truth: LeBron James is gone and he's never returning to the franchise.
No more tanking for draft picks. No more empty free-agent classes. No more false promises and mirages. No more illusions of chasing James in the summer of 2014, only to compromise themselves over and over in the conceptual pursuit of him.
The Cavaliers have a franchise player, Kyrie Irving, and here's the problem today: No one cares his thoughts on the next coach, nor how the hiring affects him. Every day Brown's ever spent on the job as Cavaliers coach, every choice and action was colored with how LeBron James would react, how he'd respond.
For the good of this franchise, Brown doesn't need to be set up again as the fall guy for James wanting to play elsewhere. Three years later, Brown returns to coach the Cavaliers and somehow they're all still trying to get LeBron James to love them.
"The way Mike had to bend for LeBron weakened him as a leader," one former Cavaliers staffer told Yahoo! Sports. "They'd be crazy to put him through that again. It's pointless."
