State pays $393K for 'slut-shaming' defense of former Arizona Wildcats track coach

“Please provide the name and contact information of each and every person to whom you have sent photographs and or videos of your exposed breasts, vulva and/or anus since January 1, 2010.”

The taxpayers of Arizona paid former University of Arizona track coach Craig Carter’s legal team to ask for that information. Representing Carter, Tucson attorney John Munger and his associates also asked Baillie Gibson, a former UA track athlete who is suing Carter, for this:

“The name and contact information of each and every person with whom you have engaged in sexual intercourse or had a sexual encounter since January 1, 2010.”

So far, the state of Arizona has paid the Munger Chadwick firm about $393,000 to provide a defense for Carter in the lawsuit filed against him and the university by Gibson. We are required to, I’m informed, because under Arizona law the state government must cover the defense of an employee being sued for behavior he engaged in while acting within the scope of his job.

1. I hate to make this a union thing...but when this kinda of clause makes it into union contracts...

it just gives the neocons more fodder against us. Why, oh why do unions do this to themselves...
