The former editor of an adult magazine has won an employment tribunal after he was axed by Paul Raymond for failing to put sufficiently sexy models on the cover.
Pierre Perrone, 49, tried to target "discerning older gentlemen" while at the helm of soft-porn magazine Men Only.
But Mr Raymond's nephew, Mark Quinn, repeatedly ordered him to replace the chosen models with younger-looking women.
Mr Perrone was also told to make the magazine's content more explicit with bigger and more graphic photos.
A panel at Central London Employment tribunal upheld Frenchman Mr Perrone's claim that their "artistic differences led to him being demoted, then axed in a sham redundancy".
It ruled that Mr Perrone was unfairly dismissed from his £50,000-a-year post by Paul Raymond Publications.
