GOP lawmaker falsely accused drag queens of pedophilia. Now he has to pay $200K.
"A Republican state representative in New Hampshire has been ordered to pay two drag queens he defamed $100,000 each and publicly apologize for calling them pedophiles.
State Rep. David Love (R) settled with the drag queens, Robert Champion and Michael McMahon, after a two-year court fight following Love’s accusation that both men had inappropriate relationships with children.
As part of the settlement, Love was forced to admit that his claims were “completely false.”
The plaintiffs filed suit after Love made the accusations in February 2022 while introducing a bill that would mandate library employees and volunteers obtain criminal background checks. Both Champion and McMahon had participated in drag queen story hours.
Love accused Champion, who appeared as Monique Toosoon in a story time event in Nashua in 2019, of being a “convicted sex offender.” The lawmaker also accused McMahon, as Clara Divine, of “rubbing butts” with children and “just really going way too far” at another event in Derry in 2021."
