Moore recently made headlines after a lawsuit was filed against him. The suit, which has since been dismissed, alleged Moore started an affair with the wife of a former Apex city councilman and engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor.

Moore and an unnamed John Doe defendant were sued for several claims, including alienation of affections and civil conspiracy.

Channel 9 obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which alleged that Moore “used his position as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives to initiate contact and develop a personal relationship with Mrs. Lassiter, despite knowing that she was married to Plaintiff.”

Jamie Liles Lassiter is currently the executive director of the North Carolina Conference of Clerks of Superior Court.
