Taylor Swift wins legal victory for sexual assault case
Clip: 8/15/2017 | 10m 39sVideo has Closed Captions
A Colorado jury awarded Taylor Swift $1 in damages in a lawsuit over a groping allegation.
When a radio host sued pop star Taylor Swift for defamation, Swift sued him back, winning $1 in damages. But there’s a greater victory: having a jury affirm her claim as a victim of sexual assault. Lisa Desjardins talks about the case and its impact with Judy Vredenburgh, president of Girls Inc. and Maya Raghu of National Women's Law Center.
