FILE - This Oct. 13, 2013 file photo shows Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy speaking in Philadelphia. The Supreme Court on Wednesday said a federal law limits how much money victims of child pornography can recover from people who viewed their images online, throwing out a nearly $3.4 million judgment in favor of a woman whose childhood rape has been widely seen on the Internet. Kennedy said for the court that federal judges should exercise discretion in awarding restitution. The case involved a woman known in court papers by the pseudonym &quot;Amy.&quot; Her losses have been pegged at nearly $3.4 million, based on the ongoing Internet trade and viewing of images of her being raped by her uncle when she was 8 and 9 years old.

Another six PAOK supporters were arrested during clashes with police before and after Thursday’s match, which PAOK won 1-0 to advance on aggregate. The game was repeatedly halted by on-turf brawls, resulting in three red cards, while PAOK fans in the stands lit thousands of flares, and several were thrown on the pitch.
