FOUND LIABLE. Jimmy Swaggart, 56, scandal-stained televangelist, along with his ministry and his lawyer; for defaming rival TV preacher Marvin Gorman and for damaging his ministry; for $10 million; in New Orleans. Although Gorman acknowledged sexual indiscretions with two women, he accused Swaggart and company of masterminding a smear campaign that drove him out of the Assemblies of God and bankrupted his ministry. Swaggart himself was defrocked in 1988 after Gorman unveiled photos of the preacher with a prostitute.
