LA Prosecutor Allegedly Defamed Woman to Shield ACORN Saboteur
LOS ANGELES (CN) - A woman says in court that a Los Angeles County prosecutor defamed her on his blog to silence her claims that conservative activist James O'Keefe had wiretapped a congresswoman's office.
Nadia Naffe sued Deputy District Attorney John Patrick Frey who has purportedly known (nonparty) O'Keefe since the muckraker worked as an intern in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office as a law school student.
She also names as defendants Frey's wife, Deputy District Attorney Christi Frey; District Attorney Steve Cooley and the county of Los Angeles.
Naffe, a reported Harvard graduate, says she too was a friend and colleague of O'Keefe's until "a frightening incident" in October 2011 when O'Keefe allegedly drugged her in an attempt to sexually assault her in a renovated New Jersey barn.
At that time, O'Keefe was on three years probation for entering federal property during an undercover sting on U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La., the complaint says.
A few weeks later, O'Keefe offered to pay her off in return for her silence, according to the complaint.

Frey wanted to keep this evidence out of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office to "protect the reputations" of O'Keefe and Breitbart, according to the complaint.
