Swift justice: Jury takes Taylor's side in groping lawsuit

Source: Yahoo News

DENVER (AP) -- Taylor Swift won $1 and long-awaited vindication after a jury decided that a radio host groped her during a pre-concert photo op four years ago.
.....
Testimony showed that Swift reported the incident to her mother and others on her team, but that she never sought any specific action regarding Mueller.

From the start, Swift's side portrayed the encounter as a clear case of sexual assault, even though they never reported it to police. Her mother tearfully testified that she asked Bell to reach out to Mueller's employers at country station KYGO-FM instead because they wanted to handle the matter quietly and avoid exposing the singer-songwriter to publicity.

Bell contacted a station vice president and asked for an investigation of Mueller's conduct. He also sent the station executive a photo taken of Swift, Mueller and Mueller's then-girlfriend at the meet-and-greet.

Good on the jury. Also note, that Swift only sued for $1.00. She said she wasn't after money, just vindication that she had been the victim, not Mueller.

Just being in the room makes my skin crawl, if you're more than ten years old anything more than a handshake is just creepy whoever you are.
