Sex tapes depicting Waffle House CEO Joe W. Rogers Jr. of Buckhead as nude and engaged in sexual acts were turned over to a Cobb County court on Tuesday, as ordered by a judge to prevent them from being leaked to the media, according to news reports.

The recordings were handed over by the attorneys representing Rogers' former house manager, who is suing him for sexual harrassment. The Marietta Daily Journal identified the woman assistant as Mye Brooke Brindle, 43, of Acworth. Brindle has accused Rogers of fondling her and forcing her to engage in sex acts while she was his employee from 2003 to 2012.

Rogers admits to having a consensual affair with his former housekeeper, but said he did not sexually harrass her. He has stated that the claims are attempts to extort millions of dollars from him.
