Kim Davis accused of hiding assets as plaintiffs seek to collect $565K same-sex marriage judgment(ABC 36 NEWS NOW via LEX NEWS) – Former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is facing new allegations in federal court that she provided false sworn answers while creditors attempted to collect on a judgment exceeding $565,000 stemming from the high-profile same-sex marriage case that drew national attention nearly a decade ago.
The filing contends public records show Davis inherited interests in multiple parcels of real estate and later transferred those assets to relatives and a family trust without receiving monetary compensation.
The filing alleges the transfers occurred after appellate courts upheld the judgment against Davis and while collection efforts were ongoing.
The federal court has ordered Davis to appear and explain why she should not be held in contempt.
The underlying judgment stems from litigation brought by Ermold and Moore, who sued Davis after she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the U.S. Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015.
