- <p> 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.
