Author Laura Albert must pay nearly $350,000 (£173,097) in legal fees, triple the amount a jury said she owes a production company for duping it with a novel supposedly based on the life of a male prostitute named JT LeRoy, a judge has ruled. The author was successfully sued by Antidote International Films Inc, which claimed Albert defrauded it by selling the screen rights to an autobiography which was really fiction.
