NC House Speaker Tim Moore faces lawsuit over alleged affair and abuse of power.
A lawsuit filed by a former Apex City Councilman alleges that North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore had an affair with his wife and engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor. The lawsuit claims that Moore used his position as Speaker to initiate contact and develop a personal relationship with Mrs. Lassiter, despite knowing that she was married. Lassiter is suing Moore and an unnamed John Doe defendant for several claims, including alienation of affections and civil conspiracy. Moore's attorney denies the claims, and Lassiter's wife says the claims are false.
