NC GOP House Speaker 'engaged in group sex with people seeking political favor': lawsuit

North Carolina GOP House Speaker 'engaged in group sex with people seeking political favor': lawsuit

The Republican Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives is being accused to using his position to secure sexual favors.

As WSOC-TV reports, a new lawsuit filed by former Apex City Councilman Scott Riley Lassiter claims that North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore had an affair with Lassiter's wife, Jamie Liles Lassiter, "despite knowing that she was married to Plaintiff."

When Lassiter confronted his wife about this, she confessed to the affair and said that she feared ending it would anger Moore, whom she feared would try to put her out of a job. The couple have since separated and are in the process of getting a divorce.

In addition to the alleged affair with Lassiter's wife, the lawsuit also says that Moore "engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor," writes WSOC-TV.

The lawsuit claims that Lassiter’s wife, Jamie Liles Lassiter, the executive director of the N.C. Conference of Clerks of Superior Court, hoped her “acquiescence” to Moore’s demands would benefit her employer. It claims that Moore “aggressively pursued a sexual relationship” with her.

Moore, through his spokesperson, Demi Dowdy, called it “a baseless lawsuit from a troubled individual.”

“We will vigorously defend this action and pursue all available legal remedies,” his statement said.

Liles Lassiter, in a statement through her attorney, Josh Howard, called it an “outrageous and defamatory suit.”

As part of the Republican leadership team in the House, Moore helped pass "sweeping legislation to lower taxes on business, tighten rules on abortion and voting, and decline to extend Medicaid coverage to 500,000 uninsured North Carolinians." Moore opposes same-sex marriage, supported a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in 2012, and joined legal efforts to defend the ban.


The two counties he represents are infested with maggots.
