State Sen. Ralph Alvarado settles defamation lawsuit against consultant Dale Emmons
FRANKFORT -- Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado of Winchester has reached a settlement in his defamation lawsuit against Democratic political consultant Dale Emmons, though Alvarado’s legal battle against former state Sen. R.J. Palmer continues.
Alvarado’s attorney, Christopher Hunt of Lexington, said Wednesday that Alvarado has received a signed public apology from Emmons.
He also said “financial provisions” were involved in the settlement with Emmons but both Alvarado and Hunt declined to reveal them. Hunt also said they would not be spelled out in the settlement.
“My focus has not been so much on money, though I had to spend a pretty good amount of money in pursuing this. It was a matter of principle for me,” said Alvarado in a brief interview.
