A judge on Tuesday tossed out a libel lawsuit filed by Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax against a television network he accused of slanted reporting on sexual assault allegations against him.

 

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in Alexandria dismissed the lawsuit. But he declined to grant CBSโ€™ request that the network be awarded attorneyโ€™s fees, disagreeing with the networkโ€™s contention that the lawsuit amounted to an abuse of the legal process.

 

Fairfax sued CBS for $400 million in September, after the network aired exclusive interviews with two women, Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson, who accused him of sexual assault more than 15 years ago.

 

Hmmmโ€ฆ.
