1995 lawsuit

[edit]

Torres was successfully sued in 1995 after Torres' staffer Roderic Young threw a microphone at and, subsequently, falsely charged journalist Jan Helfeld with stealing a document from the Congressman's office, which Torres also alleged. Young stole one of two videotapes of a news interview with Helfeld and then "tried—but failed—to take back a release form that Torres had signed consenting to the interview."[1] After Helfeld had left the congressman's office, Young called US Capitol Police and reported that Helfeld had stolen a document: the release form. Torres repeated the stolen document charge to the police, and Helfeld was detained and handcuffed. Helfeld sued Torres[2] and won a settlement of $45,000 with a written apology in 1996.[1][3]

While documented, this seems like a hit-piece. We should discuss it's undue prominence in the article. 65.196.107.215 (talk) 16:34, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
