POP superstar Taylor Swift has won a sexual assault lawsuit against a former radio DJ she accused of groping her before a gig.
A federal court judge in Denver allowed her complaint that David Mueller had fondled her buttocks during a photo opportunity in the city’s Pepsi Center arena in 2013.
The pop star broke down in tears during the closing arguments in her civil trial.
She turned away from the public gallery to wipe her eyes as Gabriel McFarland, the lawyer for David Mueller, questioned whether his client would have any reason to assault the star.
“I don’t know what kind of person grabs or gropes a music superstar, but it’s not that guy,” Mr McFarland told the federal court in Denver.
He repeatedly said the singer was wrong in her assertion that Mr Mueller had stuck his hand under her skirt and “grabbed her bare ass cheek” during a meet-and-greet before Swift’s gig at the Pepsi Centre.
The singer’s mother, Andrea Swift, had tears in her eyes during the session as she handed her daughter tissues.
