A Manhattan Supreme Court jury has ordered Curtis Jackson -- the rapper known as 50 Cent -- to pay a woman an additional $2 million for posting her sex tape online.
The New York Daily News reported the punitive damages are on top of the $5 million judgement Jackson was instructed to pay Lastonia Leviston for violating her civil rights and causing her emotional distress.
"I've been served justice by the courts and vindicated by God," Leviston said after Friday's court hearing. "I hope he learned a lesson."
Jackson, who recently filed for bankruptcy, was not in court. His lawyer James Renard said he was disappointed in the outcome and plans to "file post-verdict, pre-judgment motions, which we believe should reduce the size of the award."
The sex tape at the center of the lawsuit featured Leviston and another man.
