LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former California congresswoman Katie Hill has been ordered to pay about $220,000 in attorneys’ fees to a British tabloid and two conservative journalists she had sued after the publication of intimate photos without her consent.

The Democrat who briefly represented a district north of Los Angeles accused them in a revenge-porn lawsuit thrown out earlier this year of violating the law by publishing the pictures.

Hill resigned in 2019 after the publication of the photos and amid a House ethics probe into allegations of an inappropriate sexual relationship with a congressional staffer, which she denied.

Hill plans to appeal the rulings that dismissed her lawsuit.
