Tom Cruise won a $10 million defamation judgment against a porn actor who allegedly told the French magazine Actustar that he had a gay affair with the actor, Cruise's attorney said.

Chad Slater, whose stage name was Kyle Bradford, had said previously he never met Cruise and defaulted on the $100 million lawsuit in August 2001.

"I hope by defaulting, Mr. Cruise will finally get what he is after and I can finally start to put my life back in order," Slater said in a statement at the time.

The default motion did not indicate Slater admitted wrongdoing but was an acknowledgment he did not have the money to fight the lawsuit and would not contest it.
