A judge has dismissed the claims of slander from the former Colorado radio DJ who allegedly sexually assaulted Taylor Swift during a meet and greet in 2013.

Both versions will be heard by a jury at a nine-day trial beginning on August 7 as a Colorado federal judge on Wednesday partially rejected Swift's summary judgment bid to defeat Mueller's claims.

SWIFT alleges that MUELLER touched her inappropriately, and without her permission, during a meet-and-greet prior to the show.

Mueller is claiming "tortious interference", stating Swift intentionally got him fired over the alleged incident.

"It was completely intentional, and I have never been so sure of anything in my life", Swift testified in her deposition against former DJ David Mueller.

His attempts to sue were countersued by Taylor with sexual assault and battery allegations, with her request for a jury trial now being granted by a judge overseeing the dispute, according to People.

While this slander ruling is only a tiny victory for Taylor - as the judge also ruled they'd be moving forward with the rest of Mueller's lawsuit - it is so inspiring that Taylor has made a decision to share her story and fight for what's right.

In that particular deposition, Swift was saying that when the moment came to pose for the picture, he took his hand and he put it up her dress, and he grabbed onto her ass cheek, and no matter how much she moved away it was still there.

Taylor Swift is back in legal woes. She said that during the grope, Mueller had lifted up her skirt.

"Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault - it was Mueller - and she is not confused in the slightest about whether her long-term business acquaintance, Mr. Haskell, was the culprit", stated Swift's countersuit. He ended up suing Swift over the loss of his job and harming his reputation.

Also in late 2016, Swift filed a motion to restrict public access to some of the documents involved in her lawsuit, including a photo of the incident, as well as a description of the photograph, 12 pages of summary judgement and hundreds of supporting documents and photos.
