Posted on Feb 02, 2010 @ 03:36PM
A North Carolina judge has ordered John Edwards' former aide Andrew Young and his wife Cheri back into court to answer why they have not returned the alleged Rielle Hunter sex tape, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
Judge Abraham Jones issued a second Show Cause Order against the Youngs, ordering them back to his North Carolina court on Friday.
During their next appearance, Judge Jones will ask why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with the previous restraining order obtained by Hunter.

Hunter, Edwards' former mistress and the mother of their 2-year old daughter Frances Quinn, went to court to prevent Young from disseminating the tape to promote his book about the scandal-plagued politician.
In a sworn affidavit, Hunter claimed Young and his wife had stolen the tape (along with two others) from a hat box she had hid them in at a former North Carolina residence they had access to.

Hunter also alleges that the couple took personal photographs of her daughter from her computer and digital camera.

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 was asked to hide it.
Either way, the tape remained with Young after Edwards admitted to the affair. 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.

I've read the book, and keeping the tape/s is understandable. Edwards was a serial cheater, who finally got caught by a tabloid. Young is no hero, but he gives some nitty-gritty reality to what go-fers will do for slimy politicos-Eliz. included.

Andrew Young worked for JE for NINE years! He proclaimed his love for Elizabeth and JE several times during his tenure. Does he understand he's making a terminal woman incredibly sick? OMG she does not wish to c this.

He's not. Her s****bad of a husband is. Young did wrong in the cover up but HE PROMISED Young his fam would ALWAYS be taken care of. When JE was caught he told Young get lost. Young is just trying to provide for his fam anyway he can.

very curious how come all those movie stars who had their sex tapes stolen -- didnt get THIS JUDGE

...because even judges are politically driven. JE knows that he is up against more serious charges than a serial cheater. He is also being accused of using campaign money to cover his sorry ass! The tape proves more lies.

This guy is repulsive and I hope the money he has made is worth it to him causing even further grief for a woman with terminal cancer..John Edwards, Hunter and the Youngs are trash and too bad Elizabeth did not leave JE long ago
