MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) –
A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed failed U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore’s $95 million lawsuit targeting comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and filed after Moore complained he was tricked into an interview that lampooned sexual misconduct accusations against him.
Judge John Cronan wrote that Moore signed a clear disclosure agreement that prohibited any legal claims over the appearance. He added that the absurd segment – in which the comic demonstrated a so-called pedophile detector that beeped when it got near Moore – was “clearly a joke” and no viewer would think the comedian was making factual allegations against Moore.
