DENVER ― After four hours of deliberations, a jury in a trial that ensnared Taylor Swift and a former disc jockey who groped her during a meet-and-greet in 2013 has ruled in Swift’s favor. The jury on Monday awarded Swift the $1 she sought as a symbol of KYGO DJ David Mueller’s assault and battery, while simultaneously denying both of Mueller’s claims that members of Swift’s team interfered with his employment. Mueller, 55, sued Swift after the 2013 event, claiming he was wrongfully fired because she falsely accused him of groping her. Swift and her mother, Andrea, shared a long, tearful hug after the verdict was read. Therefore I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves.”Swift, who had largely remained composed throughout the trial, sobbed Friday during closing statements.
