A Los Angeles judge dismissed former Rep. Katie Hill s lawsuit against the Daily Mail over the outlet publishing what she called on Twitter, nonconsensual nude images of her.
Los Angeles Judge Yolanda Orozco ruled Wednesday that the photos were a matter of public concern, the Orange County Register reported.
A California state court dismissed a lawsuit by former U.S. Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) against the UK
Daily Mail on Wednesday in which she sued the publication for publishing “revenge porn” photos of her with a female staffer.
As Breitbart News reported in October 2019, the RedState blog and the
Daily Mail published the photos, which were apparently leaked by Hill’s estranged husband. Hill resigned over the affair, though not before casting her last vote to impeach President Donald Trump.
In December, as Breitbart News reported, Hill sued RedState and the
Daily Mail, among others. Liberal constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, while sympathetic, criticized Hill for “seeking a radical extension of liability for the media.”
