Left-wing activist group ACORN has filed suit against the makers of a video that showed members of its Baltimore chapter advising a fake pimp and hooker on how to cheat the tax system.
ACORN contends the audio portion of the video was illegally obtained as Baltimore requires two-party consent for sound recordings.
Tonja Thompson and Shera Williams, the two ACORN employees shown in the video, were fired after the footage was broadcast and have suffered “extreme emotional distress,” according to the lawsuit.
The US Senate voted to defund ACORN after the videos were aired.
James O’Keefe and Hanna Giles, who played the pimp and prostitute in the video, and Andrew Brietbart, who first published the videos on his website, were named in the multi-million dollar lawsuit.
