It's a Swift victory.
A Denver judge ruled in Taylor Swift's favor and determined her allegations that ex-radio DJ David Mueller groped her at a meet-and-greet four years ago are valid concluding a contentious, and highly publicized, trial and requiring Mueller to pay out a symbolic $1 to the pop star.
The verdict wraps up a six-day trial where Mueller and Swift as well as the singer's mother and bodyguard each testified at a Denver Federal Court.
The case hinged on an alleged 2013 incident at a photo opportunity before one of Swift's concerts at the Pepsi Center in Denver, where Swift says Mueller reached underneath her skirt, grabbed her backside and refused to let go as they posed for a picture.

She'll have a lot of other expenses as well.

This whole thing started because the ape sued HER for losing his job, because someone in her circle complained about his groping her.
This IS yet another Taylor Swift victory.

On edit: This is a good opportunity for her though. While the spotlight is on her for this event she could really get busy promoting women's causes.

I saw this covered in some of the radio promo journals. GOOD!
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD!!!!!
SCREW that damn grab-ass jerk! Too bad he wasn't sued for more. I'd read, much earlier, that Taylor Swift had planned to donate however much it was to charity.

Learn how to ask "want fries with that"? That's his life going forward.
