Monday September 08, 1997 12:00 AM EDT

Robert Podesta, 51, who hid for more than 24 hours in the organ loft of the dimly-lit 13th century Scottish cathedral where Madonna and Guy Ritchie's then four-month-old son Rocco was christened last Dec. 21, has been fined 1,000 pounds (about $1,650 U.S.) for attempting to videotape the star-studded ceremony. Reuters reports that Podesta was fined for breach of the peace and vandalism. The christening, which took place the day before Madonna and Ritchie's wedding, was to have been kept until a tight security lid.
