Jul 23, 2005, 4:48 GMT
Los Angeles - The trial of a photographer accused of blackmailing Cameron Diaz over topless photos taken when she was a 19-year-old model is drawing to a close.
Lawyers for the defence and prosecution were presenting closing arguments Friday after the photographer, John Rutter, 42, confessed he never asked her to sign a release form. Rutter told Los Angeles Superior Court that his assistant organized the release forms for the the shots, and that he assumed that Diaz's signature on the 1992 documents were genuine.
When quizzed by Deputy District Attorney David Walgren as to whether he now believes the signature looked fake, he replied, "It looks like that."
Rutter is accused of forging Diaz's signature and trying to sell the photos to her for 3.3 million dollars. If convicted, the accused snapper could face a jail sentence of up to six years.
