Lawsuit Alleges North Carolina House Speaker Had ‘Group Sex With People Wanting Political Favors’

The North Carolina Republican Speaker of the House is being sued by a former government official who accuses him of engaging in group sex with people seeking political favors.

Tim Moore is also accused by the prosecutor, Scott Lassiter, of having an affair with his wife. Inside the suit, he included pictures of them on what he thought was a date at a restaurant.

Lassiter also alleged in the lawsuit that his wife Jamie Liles Lassiter was afraid to end the affair because it would damage her job as executive director of the North Carolina Conference of Clerks of Superior Court.

Lassiter admitted to spying on his wife and Moore — who is divorced — dining at a steakhouse in Raleigh on Dec. 21 after she told him she was out with a girlfriend. When Lassiter confronted her, she told him about the affair.

Lassiter claimed that he confronted Moore five days later at a Raleigh restaurant, where he admitted to the affair and then made him an offer.

Moore’s attorney issued a statement after the filing saying they were looking forward to a trial and “we are confident that the Speaker will be successful.”

According to legal documents, Jamie Lassiter had an affair with Moore between 2019 and January 2023.

When confronted, the lawsuit stated, Jamie Lassiter admitted to the affair and to have engaged in group sex with others to seek Moore’s political favor. No further details about those encounters were offered

When Scott Lassiter confronted the GOP leader, Moore offered to provide political assistance, the lawsuit said.

Towards the end of the meeting, Defendant Tim Moore asked Plaintiff “in a totally different way” if he could do anything for Plaintiff, implying that he could somehow use the power he possessed as Speaker to his advantage of plaintiff,” the suit stated.

“Plaintiff angrily told Defendant Tim Moore that he did not want any political favors,” it continued.

A second person is listed as a defendant in the lawsuit, though they are not named.

Lassiter alleges that the John Doe snuck into his property to install a camera “in a corner opposite Plaintiff’s home, so that it may, on information and belief, take photographs and videotape events inside and outside ( the house of (Lassiter)’.

Scott Lassiter, who served on Apex Town Council in 2010 and is currently assistant principal of the Wake County Public School System, is seeking $200,000 in damages in North Carolina, one of the few states where a rejected lover can sue someone for interfering with their wedding.

The cases are known as “alienation of affection” and can be filed in five other states.

“Moore used his position as one of the most powerful elected officials in North Carolina to entice Plaintiff’s wife, a mid-level employee of the state government, into participating in an illicit relationship with him.”

Moore, who has served in the state House since 2003 and has been president since 2015, has denied the allegations, while Jamie Lassiter calls the lawsuit “criminal.”

Jamie Lassiter, in a statement to WRALsaid Moore is not responsible for the dissolution of her marriage, which she said ended years ago, and even signed a divorce agreement.

Moore, who has served in the state House since 2003 and has been president since 2015, has denied the allegations, while Jamie Lassiter called the lawsuit “criminal.”

She also claims that Scott Lassiter is the only person who has ever tried to ruin her career.

“Scott Lassiter has serious mental health and substance abuse issues, and I can only assume he filed this outrageous and defamatory lawsuit,” she said.

“The claims are not only false, but impossible because we have been separated for years with a signed divorce document. To be clear, I am a strong professional woman and the only person who ever abused me or threatened my career was my soon-to-be ex-husband.”

“Our marriage was a nightmare, and it’s only gotten worse since I left him. We’re nearing the end of our divorce process and that’s how he lashes out.’

Scott Lassiter — who had a failed run for his own state house in 2022 that ended after redistricting — and Jamie Lassiter officially parted ways on Jan. 11, 2023, according to the lawsuit

Speaker Moore has publicly denied the allegations, calling them “baseless.”

“We will vigorously defend this action and pursue all available legal remedies,” he said.

“I look forward to meeting Mr. Lassiter in court. We are confident that the Speaker will be vindicated.’
