Taylor Swift is Countersuing for Just $1 in Sexual Assault Trial

Taylor Swift is countersuing former radio DJ David Mueller for just $1 in their highly publicized sexual assault trial, which will begin its third day in Denver this morning.

[Mueller is suing Swift because he was fired from his radio co-host job in 2013, after she publicly claimed he groped her as they posed for a photo at a meet and greet. She filed a countersuit one month later for sexual assault and battery.]

"She's not trying to bankrupt this man," her attorney J. Doug Baldridge said in his opening statement yesterday. "She's just trying to tell people out there that you can say no when someone puts their hand on you. Grabbing a woman's rear end is an assault, and it's always wrong. Any woman—rich, poor, famous, or not—is entitled to have that not happen."

It has also been reported that if Swift is awarded any additional damages, she will donate the money to a women's rights charity.

The Mueller v. Swift trial—which is before a judge and 8-member jury (6 women, 2 men selected)—is expected to last for nine days total.
