There is photographic evidence of the DJ touching Taylor. 

'It means 'no means no' and it tells every woman they will decide what will be tolerated with their body,'Taylor's attorney said, according to The Independent via Reuters.

'I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this,' the singer said in a statement.

'My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard.'

'Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organisations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves.'
