A former Gawker editor flippantly explained on the third day of testimony in Hulk Hogan's lawsuit that he had a low bar for publishing graphic images and would even be willing to publish celebrity sex tapes of children.

Gawker Media was sued by the former pro wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, for allegedly invading his privacy when in 2012 it published video footage of him having sex with the wife of a former friend. Bollea is seeking $100 million for the unwanted exposure. Gawker has said the explicit content, recorded without Bollea's knowledge and provided by an anonymous source, was "newsworthy."

On Wednesday, jurors heard more about what constituted newsworthy material at Gawker under former Editor-in-Chief A.J. Daulerio.

At first, Daulerio said he would refrain from publishing graphic material of people "if they were a child," according to The Guardian . When pressed by Bollea's attorney for an age limit, Daulerio said, "Four."

"No 4-year-old sex tapes. OK," the lawyer said, according to The New York Daily News . The back-and-forth came from a pre-recorded deposition shown in the St. Petersburg, Florida, courtroom.
