Justin Fairfax is suing the network following two interviews with women who accuse him of sexual assault.
Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax on Thursday filed a $400 million lawsuit against CBS over Gayle King's interviews with two women who allege he sexually assaulted them.on April 1 and April 2, respectively, according to the complaint filed in Virginia federal court. Fairfax says his 2000 encounter with Wilson at Duke University and 2004 encounter with Tyson at the Democratic National Convention were consensual and the claims were politically-motivated.
Fairfax alleges in the complaint that Watson "unambiguously manifested her consent" and there was an eyewitness in the room the whole time. With regard to Tyson, he also alleges that she consented to the encounter in his hotel room and when they left the room together they passed campaign staff for then-presidential nominee John Edwards and security personnel who "would have been attuned to any distress on the part of any person they encountered.
"CBS intentionally did not ask Watson and Tyson basic factual questions meant to 'pressure-test' the veracity of their allegations," states the complaint. "Instead, it went into the stories with a preconceived narrative in mind — that Fairfax was guilty — and did everything possible to make sure the aired interviews were consistent with that narrative."
