And from 2001:

Lord Archer was found guilty of creating false diaries and concocting a bogus story to win a 1987 trial over whether he had slept with a prostitute to whom he paid $3,500 in hush money. He claimed at the time that he had never met her, and the case ended up in court because he sued the newspaper carrying the report, The Daily Star, and obtained an $800,000 libel judgment.

The Star said today it would seek $3 million from Lord Archer in a civil action based on today’s finding that he had based his case against the paper on lies and forgeries. ”No one should have any sympathy for Jeffrey Archer,” said the editor, Peter Hill. ”He is a proven liar, a cheat and a chancer, a man so arrogant that he thought he was above the law. Now he has gotten what he deserves.”
