Taylor Swift
Pop singer Taylor Swift has made good on her pledge to support groups that help sexual assault victims following her victory in a Colorado groping trial this week.
The 27 year old singer on Wednesday made what officials described as a generous donation to the U.S. Joyful Heart Foundation, whose mission is to educate, support and campaign on sexual violence issues.
Swift on Monday was awarded the symbolic $1 in damages that she had sought after a federal jury in Denver found that a radio DJ had grabbed her bottom while posing for a photo with her in 2013.
The Joyful Heart Foundation was launched by former Law & Order: Special Victims Unit television star Mariska Hargitay in 2004 with the aim of alleviating the isolation felt by domestic abuse and sexual assault victims.
The actress has said she was inspired by her role as Detective Olivia Benson on the crime series and the letters sent to her by female viewers.
