Tyco trial jurors see video of $2M party

Jurors were shown a videotape Tuesday of women in gauzy gowns, half-naked male models and “Margaritaville” singer Jimmy Buffett at a $2 million party that former Tyco chief Dennis Kozlowski threw on a Mediterranean island.

Prosecutors maintained the party — more than half of which was paid for with company money — was a “stark example” of how Kozlowski and former chief financial officer Mark Swartz looted hundreds of millions from Tyco for their personal benefit.

The videotape — heavily edited at the request of the defense — showed Kozlowski welcoming about 75 revelers to the party on Sardinia.

Kozlowski and Swartz are on trial on charges of grand larceny and enterprise corruption, accused of stealing some $600 million.

Headmaster arrested in Internet porn probe

The headmaster at a New York City prep school was arrested Monday at his suburban home and accused of having indecent online conversations with people he thought were young girls.

John Dexter, 60, who heads the exclusive Trevor Day School, was being held on $25,000 bail after his arraignment in White Plains City Court on two counts of trying to send indecent material to minors, said Westchester Dist. Atty. Jeanine Pirro.

She said that between June and October he entered a chat room for teenage girls and sent explicit messages and photos to investigators posing as 14- and 15-year-old girls.

The school announced Monday it had placed Dexter on a leave of absence. It said it had no reason to believe “that Trevor students were involved.”
