Liberty University Sues Jerry Falwell Jr. for $10M Months After He Resigned amid Sex Scandal
Liberty University has filed suit against Jerry Falwell Jr., accusing its disgraced former president and chancellor of, among other things, leading a "scheme" to keep his alleged sex scandal from the school.
The suit, published by POLITICO, is seeking more than $10 million in damages amid claims that Falwell's multiple "indiscretions" damaged the reputation of the evangelical Liberty, which Falwell's father founded in 1971.
Falwell Jr. is accused of failing to inform Liberty — from which he resigned in August — of the threat posed by Giancarlo Granda, a former Miami pool attendant who told Reuters that he had an affair with Falwell's wife Becki while Falwell "enjoyed watching from the corner of the room."
Both Falwell and Becki have confirmed her affair with Granda took place, though both have denied Falwell's involvement, and have accused Granda of trying to blackmail them, which he has denied in the past and denied once again in a statement to PEOPLE in October
