Trial background
The trial comes four years after former 98.5 KYGO deejay David Mueller allegedly grabbed Swift from behind during a meet-and-greet before a concert at the Pepsi Center.

A photo of the incident was obtained by TMZ. Mueller said he did not inappropriately touch Swift.
KYGO fired Mueller two days later for “violating the morality clause of his contract after it independently determined that he had lied about the incident.”
Mueller filed a lawsuit against Swift to recuperate his lost income, claiming she falsely accused him of groping her and pressured his employer to fire him.
Swift later filed a countersuit, claiming assault and battery, though she never reported the incident to the Denver Police Department. She said in court documents that she never directed anyone to be fired.
