Taylor Swift wins lawsuit in harassment case, only receives $1

The singer affirmed that she did not sue for money but wanted to set an example for other women to stand up and protect themselves.

After a six-day trial, a jury found former DJ David Mueller guilty of sexually harassing and groping Taylor Swift while posing for photos at the Pepsi Center in June 2013. The Shake It Off singer burst into tears and hugged her lawyer and mother after winning. According to People, she was emotional during the final arguments before the verdict was announced.

With this lawsuit, Taylor only asked David Mueller for $1 in compensation. The singer just wanted to fight for what was right and through the lawsuit, call on women to speak up if they were sexually harassed. Taylor said: "I want to thank Judge William J. Martinez and the jury for their careful consideration, and thank lawyers Doug Baldridge, Danielle Foley, Jay Schaudies and Katie Wright for fighting for me and for victims of sexual harassment. I feel lucky to be able to shoulder the costs of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is that through this lawsuit, more people's voices will be heard. Therefore, in the future, I will donate more to many organizations to help victims of sexual abuse."

Taylor Swift is happy to have won after a tense 6-day trial.

Taylor's lawsuit against DJ David Mueller has been going on for four years. It started after Mueller and his girlfriend took a photo with Taylor backstage at a concert. The singer angrily accused Mueller of lifting her skirt and groping her butt. A few days later, Mueller was fired from the radio station.

Furious at being fired from his $150,000-a-month job, Mueller filed a defamation lawsuit against Taylor Swift, seeking $3 million in damages. In response, Taylor filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against David Mueller. Taylor's bodyguard and Mueller's girlfriend testified during the week-long trial.
