RALEIGH, N.C. — A lawsuit filed against North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore has been “resolved,” according to the plaintiff’s attorney. The news was first reported by our partners at the Charlotte Observer.
On Wednesday, Channel 9 obtained court documents confirming it had been voluntarily dismissed.
The lawsuit alleges Moore started an affair with the wife of a former Apex city councilman and engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor.
Scott Riley Lassiter sued Moore and an unnamed John Doe defendant for several claims, including alienation of affections and civil conspiracy.
Channel 9 obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which alleged that Moore “used his position as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives to initiate contact and develop a personal relationship with Mrs. Lassiter, despite knowing that she was married to Plaintiff.”
The suit says Lassiter’s wife worked in the state government and had known Moore for years. Jamie Liles Lassiter is currently the executive director of the North Carolina Conference of Clerks of Superior Court.
