David Mueller, the molester DJ, was the plaintiff and he sued her for damages, slander, tortious interference, etc. claiming that he never groped her and that she got him fired.

Ferguson. <br /><br />https://www.3dca.flcourts.org/content/download/700562/opinion/200730_NOND_01132021_105516_i.pdf<br /><br />When Judge Ferguson issued his dissent in 1982, the “new” form of the<br />Bankruptcy Code was only four years old. Over the ensuing decades, as the majority points out, every state and federal court that considered the issue reached the interpretation first put forward by Judge Ferguson. The judgment of this soft spoken, scholarly, and insightful jurist has stood the test of time on this highly technical issue of commercial law, as it has in so many matters reaching to civil rights and constitutional law...<br /><br />As this case comes full circle, and we adopt the position first advocated by<br />Judge Ferguson almost forty years ago, I think it is fit and proper to bear in mind we are following in the footsteps of this distinguished, past member of our conference.
