LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A judge today dealt Katie Hill another legal blow by dismissing Salem Media Group as a defendant in the former congresswoman s revenge porn lawsuit alleging nude photos of her were published without her permission.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco ruled that Salem Media, owner of the conservative blog RedState.com, had shown that the photos were matters of legitimate interest involving a public official because they addressed Hill s character and qualifications for her position.
RedState.com published one article in October 2019 with a link to a photograph of Hill brushing a female worker s hair. The blog maintained the photo did not depict any “intimate body part of Hill and argued that Hill s actions called into question her character and ability to continue as a representative in American government.
