A new lawsuit has been filed against former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis accusing her of illegally transferring property to family members in order to avoid paying a civil rights judgement to David Moore and David Ermold, a same-sex couple she denied a marriage license to in 2015.
Davis first drew national attention in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs despite the Supreme Court’s ruling. She was briefly jailed for contempt of court after defying a federal judge’s order and later lost multiple rounds of litigation stemming from those denials.
A federal jury awarded the couple $100,000 in damages, plus about $260,000 in attorney fees and court expenses, totaling roughly $360,000 initially.
