Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones said in an order released Monday that the Orange County sheriff has appointed a security firm to help recover the video and other items. Former Edwards loyalist Andrew Young has said he has the original tape and copies stored in an Atlanta safety deposit box. Jones wants the security officer to accompany Young into the vault.

Jones has declared Young was in contempt for not immediately turning over the tape. Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, has sued Young for invasion of privacy. Young says the tape shows Edwards in a sexual encounter with a woman he assumes to be Hunter.

    " Do something wrong and tape it. Stupid. Lose the tape. Stupid. A Federal Court wants the tape. The tape is out of the state. How can a NC judge overrule a Fed. Judge? How can a NC judge send someone out of the state to get evidence without having authority in any state except NC? Did he get authority to cross state lines for evidence? If the tape is in another state then they should go to that state and sue for the tape. "
