08 Aug A DJ Is Now Going To Court For Grabbing Taylor Swift’s Butt

In 2013, there was an incident at a Denver radio station that has left its mark on both Taylor Swift and a radio DJ named David Mueller. A meet-and-greet turned into a groping accusation and a firing that will now be battled out in court. Jury selection is now beginning for the trial, which will take place in Denver over the course of nine days.

The atmosphere surrounding sexual assault in the music industry right now will come to a head this month; the trial will probably be a crystallized view of how sexual assault and Taylor Swift are perceived by a judge, and the results will undoubtedly cause shockwaves throughout the industry.
