Roy Moore, who was accused of sexual assault by nine women–including a 14-year-old girl–during his failed Alabama Senate race last year, is suing comedian Sacha Baron Cohen for $95 million, claiming he was duped into appearing on Who is America?, Cohen’s new prank show.
During Cohen’s July 29th episode, he interviews Moore disguised as an Israeli security expert.
In the interview, Cohen’s character claims to have a device that can accurately detect pedophiles.
After the device continually beeps when being used on Moore, the failed Senator gets noticeably flustered.
“This false and fraudulent portrayal and mocking of Moore as a sex offender, on national and international television, which was widely broadcast in this district on national television and worldwide, has severely harmed Judge Moore’s reputation and caused him, Mrs. Moore, and his entire family severe emotional distress, as well as caused and will cause Plaintiffs financial damage,” the lawsuit states.
Moore signed a release prior to appearing on Cohen’s show.
