| An American woman who failed to sway jurors with her claim that a Girls Gone Wild video exploited her bare chest has won $US5.8 million ($5.6 million) in a retrial before a judge.
Tamara Favazza was a 20-year-old college student in 2004 when someone lifted her tank top at what was then called the Rum Jungle, a club on Laclede's landing in the US city of St Louis, Missouri, while a video crew was recording.
She sued in St Louis Circuit Court for damages, claiming she had not consented to the use of her image in the Girls Gone Wild Sorority Orgy DVD series.

Defence lawyer David Dalton told Missouri Lawyers Weekly that his clients plan to appeal the verdict.
