A New York judge has ruled that a wealthy widow cannot immediately recover nearly $6 million (£4.5 million) she paid to male escort Greggory Starr during a relationship that began after her husband's death.
Marianne Flippo sued Starr, alleging he manipulated her into opening a joint bank account and transferring millions of dollars, including more than $1 million (£757,000) to an overseas account.
