Swift had asked a judge to keep that photo under wraps on grounds it would prejudice the potential jury. In late October, the judge granted Swift the right to seal one of the photos in evidence from the public’s viewing until the case goes to trial. However, Swift was denied a request to withhold any other evidence, including a deposition she gave. Mueller has maintained his innocence, filing a lawsuit against Swift in October 2015 that claimed he was fired from his job over the “false accusations” that he groped her.

Swift filed a counter suit against Mueller for assault and battery. In documents, the Grammy winner demanded a jury trial and promised that any money won from the trial would benefit charitable organizations “protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard”.
