Party at Flynt's place.
Huster magazine published an article lampooning Christian fundamentalist
Jerry Falwell, a longtime opponent of Flynt's polices; the article portrayed Falwell as a drunkard who had committed incest. Flynt was flown to Virginia in December 1984 after Falwell filed a $45-million civil suit against him. After a weeklong trial, a jury ruled that Flynt was not liable for the article, but published it deliberately to cause emotional distress, and
awarded Falwell $200,000. Flynt took his appeal against the verdict all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in December 1987, and the verdict was overturned two months later.
