A former John Edwards aide has narrowly avoided getting sent to jail for contempt over his handling of a purported sex tape showing the former presidential candidate.

Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones has given Andrew Young until Friday afternoon to account for how he handled various items sought by Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter.

Jones told Young on Tuesday he was "troubled" by discrepancies in the statements that Young has made in court.

Lawyers for Hunter are trying to recover the tape and other items they say belong to Hunter. Her lawyers have accused Young of "dozens of lies" in the dispute.

Young has described showing the tape to a few people and says he has turned in the copies that he had. Young's attorney chalked up discrepancies to "memory lapses."

Darren, it exists, its called the Wood's Hole Institute...and wondering Location: eastern nc, well come to dirty politics. They don't call it dirty for nothing. If you support democrats, again, I am one, you are supporting more of the same. Even Obama flew under the radar due to the clamming up of the media. Wolfgang, this guy, Edwards, need to go to exile from America. And, to think, so many dems supported him in the primaries, says a lot of intelligenced of the voters.

Maybe Johnny Boy, Slick Willie, Mark Sanford, A-Roid, and Cheetah Woods should all start a club. They would be best friends.
