Former RAF officer Owen Morris said Brooke Magnanti, the former scientist behind the pen-name, had "destroyed" his reputation by accusing him in the Sunday Times of threatening to expose her identity for money. She also claimed his behaviour towards her had become so threatening that she had once taken out a restraining order on him.

Belle de Jour shot to fame after she posted a series of blogs about her sexual adventures, in which Mr Morris - who she dated for seven years - was referred to as The Boy. She worked from 2003 to late 2004 as a prostitute through an escort agency.
