Taylor Swift won the $1 assault and Dear Utol: Catfish Episode 46battery lawsuit she lobbed against a radio DJ who was suing her for defamation.
At a federal courthouse in Denver on Monday afternoon, a jury of six women and two men found David Mueller guilty of inappropriately touching Swift in 2013 at a meet-and-greet after a Denver concert.

The country music DJ sued Swift, her mother, and her radio promotions manager in 2015 for defamation, claiming the three got him fired after, according to Mueller, falsely stating he had groped Swift while she was taking a photo with the 55-year-old and his then-girlfriend. He was seeking $3 million.
Swift, who maintains Mueller indeed groped her despite his denials, then filed a lawsuit against him for assault and battery, asking for a symbolic demand of $1. She aimed to make an example of Mueller and stand up for women who've been sexually assaulted through her legal counterpunch.
In a statement sent to news media after the verdict, Swift said she intended to donate to organizations that help sexual assault victims.
"I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this," she said in the statement. "My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard."

Last week, Swift gave gripping testimony about the incident stating Mueller grabbed her bare butt under her skirt during a photo op. On Friday, the judge threw out Mueller's case against Swift, ruling that he could not prove she got him fired or did anything improper.
“I’m not going to allow you or your client to make me feel in any way that this is my fault, because it isn’t," Swift said on the stand while being questioned by Mueller's lawyer last week. "I am being blamed for the unfortunate events of his life that are a product of his decisions and not mine."
On Monday, the jury dealt another blow to Mueller by ruling it was OK for Swift's mother and radio liaison to tell KYGO-FM execs about the incident, according to the Associated Press.
Swift hugged her mother after the verdict, the AP reports.
