Taylor tells of ‘grope’

Chanting masses threaten America

- By ANDREW JAMESON andrew.jameson@dailystar.co.uk

TAYLOR Swift told a court how a DJ subjected her to a “very long” and “intentiona­l” grope.

The Shake It Off singer, 27, insists David Mueller, 55, grabbed her bare buttocks under her dress four years ago as she posed for a photo with him before a concert.

Under cross-examinatio­n at US District Court in Denver last night Taylor told the DJ’s lawyer: “Your client grabbed my ass.”

She called it a “devious and sneaky act.

“It was a definite grab... a very long grab,” she said.

Mueller who denied any inappropri­ate behaviour, is suing Taylor for compensati­on after he was sacked from his radio station job.

The pop singer has counter-sued for assault and battery and is demanding just one dollar token damages – just 77p – to show women “you can say no.” The case continues.

TENS of thousands of brainwashe­d North Koreans raise their fists to back dictator Kim Jong-un’s crazed plans to attack the US.

Hordes of people descended on their capital Pyongyang’s main square to pledge allegiance to Kim.

He organised the show of strength as he threatened to fire missiles into the sea near US-owned Guam. The rally pictures, issued through the secretive state’s propaganda news agency, show masses of people, including children, with placards plastered with slogans.

Support

They stood in a perfectly choreograp­hed throng in Kim Il-Sung Square chanting for Kim.

One poster read: “We fully support the statement of the DPRK government categorica­lly rejecting the ‘sanctions’ against the DPRK.”

Kim was seen smiling on telly screens while the adulation went on.

He promised missile strikes near the tiny US military stronghold “within days”.

State media said rockets are ready and waiting to pass over Japan and land in the sea about 30km from the 160,000-population isle.

It is intended as a “warning” to what Kim calls the “gangster” Americans and “senile” Donald Trump.

But Trump’s defence secretary General James Mattis repeated his boss’s warning, saying North Korean aggression would mean “the end of its regime and the destructio­n of its people”.

UK First Secretary of State Damian Green said: “It is obviously in all our interests to make sure that nothing escalates.

“We are very strongly in support of the UN process, which has and continues to put pressure on North Korea to stop acting in an irresponsi­ble way, and we will continue strongly to support the UN process which will, I hope, help to de-escalate tensions.”

Japan also readied missiles yesterday in Tokyo in case of an attack.

Guam residents told of their fears over the threats last night.

Justin Andre said: “We are a target. This is very scary.”

Cyle Tass added: “We put a lot of money into it (our missile defence system), hopefully we see it work, and hopefully we don’t have to see nuclear fallout on Guam.”
