Contradicting Karen Sypher's claim that her relationship with the lawyer she hired to sue Rick Pitino was "strictly business," attorney Dana Kolter testified Friday that they routinely had oral sex and the jury was shown a photo he had taken of them doing so two years ago.

"Was your relationship more than strictly business?" prosecutor John E. Kuhn Jr. asked Kolter, who testified on the fifth day of Sypher's extortion trial in U.S. District Court.

"Oh, yes," said Kolter, who testified that though both he and Sypher were married to others, they routinely had oral sex, including on the day in March 2009 when Kolter sent a letter to Pitino, threatening to sue him for allegedly raping Sypher twice.

The testimony appeared to support the government's claim in one count of the indictment that Sypher lied to the FBI when she denied having an intimate relationship with Kolter, who also handled her divorce.

Tim Sypher admissions

But in testimony earlier on Friday, Sypher's ex-husband, Tim Sypher, Pitino's former aide, made several admissions that added ammunition for Sypher's claim that it was Pitino who offered her cash and gifts in exchange for her silence about their sexual encounter at a restaurant in 2003.

Questioned for two hours by Sypher's lawyer, James Earhart, Tim Sypher acknowledged that on March 6, 2009, he asked his then-wife to write down a list of demands that he delivered to the coach in West Virginia.

He also said he later helped fulfill two demands on the list cars for herself and one of her sons.

In addition, Tim Sypher testified that it was Pitino who told him to arrange an abortion "out of town" for Karen Wise, her name at the time, so she could terminate the pregnancy of the child she claimed Pitino had fathered.
