Liberty University sues Jerry Falwell Jr. over sex scandal, seeks $10M in damages
Fox News
Liberty University has filed a lawsuit against its former president, Jerry Falwell Jr., seeking $10 million in damages after his departure from the school last year.
Furthermore, the Christian university asserts that while Falwell had a "fiduciary duty to disclose [Giancarlo] Granda’s extortive actions, and to disclose the potential for serious harm to Liberty" to the board of trustees, he "furthered the conspiracy of silence and negotiated a 2019 Employment Agreement that contained a higher salary from Liberty." The lawsuit also claims that Falwell has refused to return confidential information and other personal property. Liberty filed the complaint on Thursday in Lynchburg Circuit Court, according to the AP. It wasn't immediately clear if Jerry Falwell has an attorney representing him in the case, the outlet reported.More Related News
