December 15, 2005



Danish film-maker Jorgen Leth has been stripped of his honorary consul role in 
the Caribbean island of Haiti, after admitting to an affair with a teenager.

The De Fem Benspaend (The Five Obstructions) director, 68, revealed in his 
autobiography The Imperfect Human that he had enjoyed a love affair with the 
18-year-old daughter of his Haitian cleaner.

Following the revelations, the poet, writer and Tv presenter, is no longer the 
Danish counsel and has been fired as the cycling commentator for Danish Tv 
channel Tv2.
