Holly Davis, a legal expert, spoke exclusively to Nicki Swift about the reasons why Nicki’s potential lawsuit against Jennifer Hough as a rape victim could prove difficult for her. Davis is an Austin-based family lawyer. Kirker DavisKenneth Petty’s criminal past is a problem for his case. “Ultimately, Nicki’s husband has some major problems from his past, and a conviction for rape is a major question of his character,”Davis spoke to Nicki Swift. “People serve their time and change their ways, but it is reasonable to expect a harassment lawsuit from his accuser if he still attempts to contact her about something he admitted that he did in his past.”
Austin’s legal expert stated that it was up to the court whether Petty harassed Hough. However, Davis said, “I think it’s a bad idea for anyone to communicate with their victim after they were convicted of raping them. So Nicki’s husband may have to deal with the financial consequences of continuing communications with his former victim.”
