Former Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Over $260,000 in Legal Fees

Davis, who denied a same-sex couple a marriage license in 2015, was previously ordered to pay $100,000 in damages.

Kim Davis, the former county clerk in Kentucky, has been ordered to pay over $260,000 in legal fees and expenses to a same-sex couple she denied a marriage license to in 2015.
The decision was filed on December 28 in U.S. District Court for Eastern Kentucky, and is the culmination of a long legal battle.
In addition to the legal fees, Davis was previously ordered by a jury to pay the couple $100,000 in damages.
Davis became a symbol of religious opposition to same-sex marriage and was held in jail for five nights in 2015 for defying a federal order to issue licenses to same-sex couples.
Liberty Counsel, a conservative legal group representing Davis, plans to appeal the decision, arguing there was 'insufficient evidence' to award damages.
