The former Gawker editor-in-chief once ignored a woman's desperate pleas to take down a video the site ran that may have shown her being raped in a sports bar bathroom stall.

Emails between AJ Daulerio and the girl were revealed on Friday during Hulk Hogan's $100million lawsuit against the site for posting part of a sex tape that involved him and his then-best friend's wife.

'I'm writing in regard to having the post be removed from the website,' the Bloomington, Indiana co-ed wrote Daulerio, 41, in May 2010. 'I'm asking you to cease and desist the use of that video.'

'I am the girl in it and it was stolen from me and put up without my permission.'

Daulerio's first response: 'Blah, blah, blah.'

'We're not going to take it down,' he explained in a follow-up.

'The best advice I can give you right now: Do not make a big deal out of this, as you can tell, the footage is blurry and you are not identified by name.

'I'm sure it's embarrassing but these things do pass. Keep your head up,' he said, according to the New York Post.

The woman tried again, telling Daulerio: 'This is very serious and involves a lot more than a simple mistake.'

'I understand it's blurry but people who know the people in the video can clearly see and know that it is them,' she said. 'I need this taken down.'

'You should seriously consider taking this off the website because things like this can spiral out of control.'

Daulerio was not concerned, telling her once more that he would not be taking the video down.

'And it's not a very serious matter,' he continued. It is a dumb mistake you (or whomever) made while drunk in college. Happens to the best of us.'

Gaby Darbyshire, Gawker's attorney, then took over the matter, telling the woman that it was a 'completely newsworthy' story.

Daulerio's response to the girl, who told him the situation was 'very serious' and 'more than a simple mistake', was 'blah, blah, blah' and advice to 'keep your head up'

Daulerio has already made headlines this week for his testimony in the Hogan case when he sarcastically responded he would draw the line at posting the sex tapes of celebrity children under the age of four

'It's the truth, which can be hurtful, but one's actions can have unintended consequences,' she wrote to the woman.

'We believe that we are publishing this legitimately and, as such, we will not remove the clip.'

But they did take the clip down, the very next day in fact, and Daulerio would later admit he wish he had never published it at all.

'It wasn't funny,' he told GQ in 2011. 'It was possibly rape.'

'I didn't really look at the thing close enough to realize there's maybe something a little more sinister going on here and a little more disturbing.'

But the damage was done. Other sites picked up the video, and a few days later Daulerio received a phone call from the woman's father.

'He had this basic breakdown on the phone,' Daulerio told GQ. 'The guy is like, "You gotta understand, I've just been dealing with watching my daughter get f***** in a pile of piss for the past two days.'

After reading the emails, a 2013 deposition from Hogan's case was played that showed the wrestler's defense team asking Daulerio what research he did before posting the video of the girl.

LINDA HOGAN'S DISTRAUGHT LETTER TO HER HUSBAND Terry, YOU have single-handedly ruined our 25 year marriage and our family…my trust, my love, my future, our future family with grandchildren, holidays, weddings, our kids’ lives, homes, their ability to trust, our poor animals, friends, neighbors, your career, finances, trademarks, retirement, your legacy, your reputation, your health…even your soul…You lost it ALL. You took me for granted and never appreciated me or our beautiful family…blaming me for your horrendous mistakes… And yet you continue in life this very way still…hiding behind those sunglasses, false smile, oh…and the bandana! Until you can really apologize, to me…and to our children…I will never forgive you. Linda Advertisement

'Before posting the video,' one of Hogan's attorneys asked. 'Did you try to determine whether the sex was consensual?'

'As far as I knew it was consensual,' Daulerio replied.

'Did you contact the subject of the video?' the attorney asked.

'Um, no, I did not,' Daulerio said.

A spokesman for Gawker Media said: 'The decision years ago to link to another site's (Deadspin) video of what was believed to be a consensual encounter in a public place was, plain and simple, bad judgment. Despite the initial emails, we quickly took down the link and the accompanying story - as Hulk Hogan's lawyer acknowledged in court'.

Daulerio, who was the editor for Deadspin (a sports website owned by Gawker Media) before joining Gawker in 2011, has already made headlines this week for his testimony in the Hogan case.

On Wednesday, Daulerio said he would draw the line at publishing the sex tapes of celebrities under the age of four.

'Can you imagine a situation where a celebrity sex tape would not be newsworthy?', a Hogan attorney asked Daulerio, according to the New York Post.

He responded: 'If they were a child.'

The attorney said: 'Under what age?'

Daulerio replied: 'Four.'

'No four-year-old sex tapes, OK,' the attorney replied.

A spokeswoman for Gawker later said that Daulerio was making the point 'in a flip way' and that he would never publish the sex tape of 'any child', according to Philly.com.

Daulerio, who said he found Hogan's sex tape 'very amusing', also admitted he had not tried to contact the wrestler, the woman on the tape or her husband before posting it on the site.

Hogan's team estimate the profit Gawker made from the sex tape was up to $15m.

Shanti Shunn, a digital marketing expert, told the jury that the sex tape was viewed nearly 4.5 million times off of Gawker.com and Jeff Anderson, a specialist in intellectual property valuation, suggested that the spike in traffic in the months after the posting benefited Gawker by at least $5 million, and more likely, about $15 million.

Hogan has maintained that he did not know he was being filmed during the sexual encounter with the wife of his friend DJ Bubba, who gave the two his blessing and gave the wrestler a condom.

Gawker says the publication was a legitimate scoop because Hogan had talked openly about his sex life before, in forums such as Howard Stern's radio show.

Daulerio left Gawker three months after posting Hogan's sex tape in October 2012. He then created gossip site Ratter, which he has shut down indefinitely as the trial continues.

In the same GQ profile, Daulerio admitted he would never let his children have access to the web.

Gawker's former editor-in-chief admitted he did not try to contact the former wrestler (seen on Tuesday), the woman Hogan had sex with or the woman's husband, prior to posting an edited version of the 30-minute video

'I would not have a daughter on Facebook - ever,' he said.

'It's just bad news.'

Earlier in the court proceedings jurors heard how the British owner of the US gossip website bragged about a spike in traffic after publishing topless pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge.

Oxford-educated Nick Denton told Gawker staff in an email that they had ‘scored with royal breasts’ and that they should be proud of themselves.

Mr Denton said that the photos helped the website to sail past its traffic targets for giving staff bonuses and that they would all be getting 20 per cent of their salary.

The pictures of the Duchess were taken in September 2012 by a French photographer who used a long lens from a road while she and Prince William stood on the balcony of a rural chateau in Provence.

The couple launched legal action for breach of privacy against the publishers of Closer magazine in France after it ran the images.

A spokeswoman for the Royal couple at the time called the pictures ‘grotesque’ and ‘totally unjustifiable’.

The images were not published by the British media but Gawker ran scans from the French edition of Closer.

Mr Denton sent an email to staff on October 10 2012 titled ‘phew’ in which he praised them for both the Hogan tape and the pictures of the Duchess.
