out anyone who might be tempted to publish it. in this is notice. if anybody goes forward with this thing we'll find them and prosecute them. >> rorter: five months later in october 2012 gawker.com did what no other media outlet dared. the man behind the post labeled nsfw, not safe for work, a.j. di lair lairo saying he couldn't wait to publish it. >> i enjoyed watching the video. i found it very amusing. >> reporter: daulerio saying he didn't call hogan or clem before putting it up on the site. >> so it's fair to say that whether he suffered emotional distress or not that played no it. >> reporter: lawyers asking if there's any celebrity sex tape he wouldn't consider newsworthy. >> if they were a child. >> what age?

>> reporter: but gawker calling the outrageous remark flip saying only it was made after he said he wouldn't post the tape of a child. nick denton was asked whether posting it would be distressing to hogan. >> uh, no, i didn't and why not in because my job is to disseminate information and that's our social function. >> reporter: team hogan also puts a college professor on the stand who told the jury that gawker's post violated nearly every principle of ethical journalism but gawker prides itself on having different journalistic standards and it has not even begun to present its case in court. >> thanks. let's talk about it with dan abrams and nancy grace, host of "nancy grace" on hln. pretty startling moment on where gawker would draw the line.

and that certainly is putting perfume on the pig to say that your line, your goal standard is that you would not post a sex tape of air child under 4. gawker's argument is that that was being flip and sarcastic but even being flip and sarcastic is not going to go down well with that jury and it lifts the veil on the mentality at gawker when they put out the hulk hogan sex tape. >> right, and, dan, that can't win them any friends but underneath they have a relatively bad day. >> they were taking depositions giving them before. both these will end up testifying in the case where they'll have more time to explain things. >> joking around. >> whatever, but, look, the real risk for gawker here is a legal matter. is it these jurors put gawker on trial in general as opposed to

question here about this tape, this context, this question. and if i'm gawker, the one thing i'm really worried about is that the jurors become so angry at what gawker does that they simply want to punish them and i'm sure that's what their lawyers are -- >> i would not put them back on the stand. they may do it, dan. you may be right about that but i wouldn't put those two on the stand. they're radioactive and imagine what would happen on cross-examination. you know what, speaking of the testimony in court i thought hulk hogan did a great job. it's not hulk hogan that you are used to seeing in the ring with the wwe. this is the private hulling. bollea and came across as measured and calm and not what people would have expected. >> i thought hulk hogan was okay. i didn't think he was great. i think this whole distinction between i get to pick when i'm hulk hogan versus when i'm terry bollea is not a particular -- >> you think gawker not going on

>> no, no question nick denton will take the witness stand in this case. i mean he has to take the stand. you can't let them put clips of your deposition in without providing context. nick is a much more important witness in the context of this case thann terry bollea/hulk hogan meaning hulk hogan's testimony, yes, it's relevant. yes, it's important but the most important question in this case is, why did gawker do what it did? what were they thinking? what was the reasoning behind -- >> dan, i think that what you're saying legally is absolutely correct, because this case is against them and you've got to get their reasoning but in my mind when i am speaking to a jury, what's going to matter is, how did this affect hulk hogan? is he believable? sincere. >> that assumes liability and we're already to damage. >> that was great, guys. thanks very much. >> yeah. >> coming up we'll talk about

much like the man who owns the modeling agency that represents her. donald trump. >> beautiful, beautiful. >> reporter: it's not well known but his vast business empire includes a modeling agency. trump model management is not considered one of the top ten agencies but some of his models have hit it big including his wife melania who while dating him posed on his private jet for a private magazine and as seen on this reality show he's been involved in recruiting talent. >> you just signed. >> reporter: it hasn't worked out for everyone. alexia palmer was recruited from jamaica and brought to the u.s. by the trump agency uer a special h1b visa program for foreign workers. in government documents filed by the trump agency it said palmer would make at least $75,000 a year for three years as a full time employee. di that seem like a lot of money to you? >> yes.

close to that from the more than 21 shoots including this campaign for iman cosmetics. according to a lawsuit she filed the trump agency deducted some 80% of her earnings fees and expends leaving her for a total of three years of only $3,880 plus some modest cash advances and under her visa status she could not work anywhere else. >> i feel lik i was a slave or something. >> a slave. >> because that's what slavery people do just work and work and work and don't get no money. >> reporter: the trump agency said it had a hard time finding work for palmer and that the $75,000 a year on the form was just an estimate. trump general counsel alan garten. >> there was no employer/employee relationship. >> except you checked the box that said full time employee. >> that's what the form requires. >> that wasn't true. >> thiss is how it's done in the industry. >> reporter: a former u.s. immigration official says companies don't have the option

they cite in a u.s. visa form like the $75,000. >> it would be extraordinarily unusual for that to be legal. >> reporter: the trump agency has brought more than 100 young dels to the u.s. under the h1b visaprogram, the very program trump as a candidate has criticized others for using as a cheap labor program. , 22-year-old alexia is going to take on donald trump.p. >> yes and i know i'm going to win because this is very unfair. >> reporter: alexia palmer says there are other trump models like her but they're afraid to take him on. in part once they leave the agency thehe visas expire and if they stay in the u.s. they're bject to deportation. >> thank you, brian. coming up on "od morning america" we have the story behind this heartwarming video. a young woman giving the man who raised her the gift of a lifetime. we have a health headline
