John Edwards’ former aide Andrew Young was trying to sell the sex tape of Edwards and mistress Rielle Hunter, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

That’s the real story behind Hunter winning a temporary restraining order Friday prohibiting Young from disseminating the tape.

Young helped cover up the one-time presidential candidate’s affair with Hunter, even claiming to be the father of her baby.

But when Edwards’ lies unraveled Young got a book deal and decided to tell the truth for profit.

But now RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that he was also trying to profit from an Edwards-Hunter sex tape.

“He was exploring options selling the tape,” one person with direct knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com. “He had spoken to people about possible financial deals involving the tape.”

Young says he found the tape in the trash and it was marked “special.” Other sources say he was given the tape by Edwards during the affair cover up and asked to hide it.

Either way, the tape remained with Young after Edwards admitted to the affair. And when Young realized he could profit from his role in the Edwards affair, he not only made a book deal but also explored marketing the tape for “a fortune,” a RadarOnline.com investigation uncovered.

Edwards is clearly visible in the tape although Hunter’s face is never shown. It is clear that Edwards is with a pregnant woman.



The words "sex tape" and "visibly pregnant" woman are soooo repulsive! So Edwards knew she was pregnant -- did it turn him on that she was carrying HIS baby or someone else's baby? What a low class man with no conscience.

Hilarious. Edwards deserves this, as does Rielle.

As to which of these 3 (Edwards, Hunter, Young) is more disgusting: if you're grading on a curve, at least Hunter isn't the one keeping this on the radar and adding to the misery of the families involved by whoring out a tell-all.

She doesn't need to. She's having herself a gay ole time reading tarot cards...as she has permanent tap into millions for the rest of her seedy life...while awaiting for Elizabeth to leave this life. Blech!

They all are! There is so much money, so many perks, just to ride the wave of most politicians' coat tails. Most of these go-fers are still wet behind the ears, and dumb enough to think the pay-off is worth selling their souls to the devil!

Edwards, Hunter and Young are all slugs, but this situatioin gives new meaning to "one man's (or in this case woman's) trash is another man's treasure." lol

From the description, it sounds like she was giving him oral sex (only her hand/arm is photographed while Edwards can be plainly seen). Probably the reason it was filmed -- BC it was all about HIM!
