Judge delivers win for Sacha Baron Cohen in Roy Moore defamation lawsuit proceedings

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., handed a win to Sacha Baron Cohen in former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore’s defamation case against the comedian, agreeing to let the case be transferred to federal court in New York.

D.C. District Judge Thomas Hogan made the ruling during a hearing on Monday.

Moore is suing Cohen, Showtime and CBS over his appearance last year on Cohen’s show "Who is America?" Moore claims that he was defamed and tricked into appearing on the show, during which Cohen’s character labeled the former Senate candidate as a pedophile by using a device "supposedly invented by the Israeli Army" to detect such people.

Attorneys for Cohen and Showtime argued that a provision in a consent agreement signed by Moore stated that all legal disputes stemming from his appearance on the show would be handled in New York, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Moore ran in the Alabama Senate special election in 2017, but lost the race after he faced allegations from several women that he pursued romantic relationships with them while they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. Several of the women accused Moore of sexual misconduct, including assault.
