Testimony gets explicit at Hulk Hogan-Gawker trial

On Monday, Denton spoke about his rise in the publishing world and how he founded Gawker.

Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan is suing Gawker for $100 million for posting an edited video of Hogan having sex with his then-best friend's wife. Hogan said he didn't know he was being filmed at the time of the encounter. He maintains it was an invasion of his privacy.

The civil trial is being held in St. Petersburg. This is the second week of testimony.
