DJ groped me at concert and made me feel violated, Swift tells court

TAYLOR SWIFT has given details to a court about how she was groped backstage before a concert.

The singer said that she felt “violated” after the encounter with disc jockey David Mueller in Denver, Colorado.

Swift said she was molested while posing for a photograph at the Pepsi Center. “Right as the moment came for us to pose for the photo, he took his hand and put it up my dress and grabbed onto my ass cheek and no matter how much I scooted over it was still there,” she said in a court deposition, according to Billboard magazine. “It was completely intentional, I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”

Swift, 26, also revealed her shock after the alleged incident in June 2013. “I remember being frantic, di stressed, feeling violated in a way I had never expe- rienced before,” she said in the deposition. “A meet-and-greet is supposed to be a situation where you’re thanking people for coming, you’re supposed to be welcoming people into your home, which is the arena for that day, and for someone to violate that hospitality in that way, I was completely stunned.”

Mr Mueller is suing Swift for lost income and slander and claims he lost his job at Denver’s KYGO radio station a f t e r Sw i f t falsely accused him of touching her inappropriately. He insisted that it was an accident. Swift launched a counter-suit for sexual assault and battery in October 2015.

On Friday, a Colorado US district court judge William Martinez ruled that a photograph of the a l l e ge d assault should not be made public, but denied Swift’s request to withhold other evidence, including the deposition, which she made in July.
