Former Bengals cheerleader's trial begins

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader appeared in court Friday as part of a lawsuit against a gossip website she says defamed her.

The court is going through text messages from Sarah Jones to the underage student she allegedly had sex with.

The former northern Kentucky teacher says the site posted the messages, which she says weren't true.

Jones says that caused her severe distress.

She is asking a jury to award her $11 million.

Attorneys for the website say her relationship with the teen proves she's sexually immoral and that she's to blame for her tarnished reputation.
