Nevada Supreme Court Dismisses Steve Wynn's Defamation Lawsuit Against AP

The court ruled Wynn failed to show clear evidence of malice in the AP's reporting on sexual misconduct allegations.

The unanimous decision cited Nevada's anti-SLAPP law, designed to protect free speech and public participation.
Wynn's lawsuit stemmed from a 2018 AP story about two women alleging sexual misconduct.
The court emphasized the public's interest in understanding allegations against prominent figures.
Legal experts say the ruling raises the bar for public figures to sue for defamation.
Wynn has consistently denied the allegations and stepped down from his company following their publication.
