Lawsuit Accuses Tyler Perry of Sexual Assault
The filmmaker and media mogul Tyler Perry is being sued for $260 million for sexual assault by an actor who starred in 'The Oval,' one of Mr. Perry's television series. Derek Dixon, who played the character Dale on the show, claims in a lawsuit that Mr. Perry subjected him 'to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation when Mr. Dixon did not reciprocate Mr. Perry's unwanted advances.' Lawyers for Mr. Perry and Mr. Dixon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Matthew Boyd, a lawyer for Mr. Perry, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter that the lawsuit was a 'scam.' 'Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail,' Mr. Boyd said. According to the lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in a Los Angeles court, Mr. Dixon met Mr. Perry in 2019, when Mr. Dixon worked for an event company that had organized a party for the filmmaker. The two exchanged numbers, and Mr. Perry initially offered him career advancement, Mr. Dixon said. Soon afterward, Mr. Perry began sending Mr. Dixon sexually suggestive text messages, according to the lawsuit, which included images of messages sent between the men. In one episode mentioned in the lawsuit, in 2020, Mr. Perry invited Mr. Dixon to his home in Douglasville, Ga., near Atlanta, where the two had drinks and Mr. Dixon spent the night in a guest room. During the night, Mr. Perry got into bed with Mr. Dixon and began 'rubbing Dixon's body around his inner thigh in a highly sexual and suggestive manner,' according to the lawsuit. Mr. Dixon jumped out of bed and told Mr. Perry that he 'wasn't that sexual,' according to the lawsuit. Afterward, Mr. Dixon ignored Mr. Perry's texts, until Mr. Perry offered him a role in 'The Oval,' according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit also describes an incident in 2021 when Mr. Dixon spent the night at Mr. Perry's house, and claims that when Mr. Perry asked for a good night hug, he pulled down Mr. Dixon's underwear and 'began to vigorously grab, grope, and play with Dixon's buttocks in a sexual manner.' Mr. Perry has built a media empire with an array of popular television shows and movies depicting Black life in America, including the 'Madea' film series, in which he also stars. In 2019, he opened a 330-acre studio complex in Atlanta where major studios often film movies and television shows, including 'Pitch Perfect 3,' 'The Walking Dead' and 'Black Panther.'

The Supreme Court Rightly Revives Police Responsibility for Wrong House Raids
Let's hope only a small number of us think it's OK for squads of heavily armed federal agents to break down our doors, throw in some flash bangs, and then throw us and our children to the ground—only to realize they are in the wrong house. And if it's not OK, the victims of this sort of nightmare should be paid for the damage to their homes and the injuries they suffered. Yet, last year, in the case of Hilliard Toi Cliatt, his partner Curtrina Martin, and her 7-year-old son, an Atlanta-based federal appeals court said the victims were powerless to do anything about it. In a timely message to federal law enforcement, the Supreme Court has unanimously overturned that court, allowing the claim for damages to proceed. The U.S. Supreme Court is seen at dusk on Jan. 18, 2025, in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Supreme Court is seen at dusk on Jan. 18, 2025, in Washington, for allowing the lawsuit isn't about demonizing the police. When some activists did demonize them following the murder of George Floyd, the police retreat left us with dirty, dangerous, and declining cities, bolstering Donald Trump's case to reclaim the presidency. Now Trump is showing us the worst of the contrary view—shoot first, and—if anyone asks questions later—shoot them too. Trump is a consequence of the perceived lawlessness of the left—lawlessness against the police—lawlessness regarding immigration. Trump embodies right wing lawlessness—judges arrested, a senator assaulted, court orders ignored, corruption rampant. None of these national mood swings likely make sense to Curtrina Martin, her partner, and her son. They simply wanted to live in peace and to punish those who shattered it. Long ago, they would have been powerless. A federal statute specifically barred lawsuits against the police for the injuries they might inflict. But in 1973, Herbert Giglotto and his wife awoke to find 15 plain-clothed federal agents in their bedroom. They tied Giglotto up, held a gun to his head, and ransacked his house. Realizing they were in the wrong house, the agents left. Nearby, 30 minutes later, agents made the same mistake again bursting in on an innocent family and holding them at gunpoint. This seemed intolerable to Congress, so the next year it amended the Federal Tort Claims Act to allow victims to the federal government when law enforcement agents abused private citizens with things like assaults and false arrests. That should have settled things. So why did the appeals court block the Martin lawsuit? It's complicated, but let's just say that this law is a tangle of rules and exceptions, and for the past 50 years courts have eroded victims' rights to the point where almost all lawsuits against federal agents fail. Most of the time, courts hold that officers were exercising permissible "discretion" while inflicting injuries, and, the lower court in Martin used the novel idea that the supremacy of federal law over state law neutered the 1974 law's provision exposing law enforcement agents to the same liability a private citizen would have faced under local law. Yet the heart of the rulings seems to have been the same wild pendulum swings we see in society as a whole when it comes to law enforcement. When Congress changed the law in 1974, America was still reeling from the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. assassinations, the Kent State killings, and the 1968 "police riot" in Chicago. Support for the police was at an all-time low and crime shot up. During the two Reagan terms, the two Bush presidencies, and during Trump term one, America swung back toward lionizing rather than criticizing the police, with unconditional support for the police peaking after 9/11 and only declining again 20 years later with the George Floyd murder and the outcry that followed it. Perhaps this time, with a unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court, the judiciary can help American justice find a third way. The Martin case isn't over. The High Court sent it back to the lower court to consider the part of the law that blocks lawsuits challenging discretionary decisions that implicate public policy. If the court rejects the silly idea that a wrong house raid is the product of a public policy judgment call, common sense may prevail in lawsuits against federal law enforcement—righteous police will be protected and rogue police will be accountable.
