Judge settles suit accusing lawyer of threatening to release her intimate photos in bid to scuttle deposition
Briefly

Judge Marni Bryson's lawsuit against lawyer William Scherer for alleged blackmail with nude photos related to her pregnancy has been settled confidentially as of a recent hearing.
The lawsuit arose during a post-divorce dispute where Bryson accused Scherer of sending an emissary to threaten her with the release of intimate photos if she pursued deposition.
Scherer, representing the ex-husband's then-girlfriend, contended that Bryson had no evidence of any outrageous threats and that she was aware of potential damaging revelations.
The settlement comes just weeks before a scheduled trial, indicating a resolution of all claims without further public or legal proceedings.
