Like I said, there's no charges against Nick here. But Nick IS involved: He's running the gofundme, he introduced Vic to Ty, and he acts as a mouthpiece for Vic's case and cause. He's substantially connected enough to warrant a deposition (remember: the court can't assume what he WILL say; only what he MIGHT say), but I would also assume there are logistical problems bringing him to Texas.
But point taken. It'd be pretty up-hill.
Vic will definately be deposed by the defense. But I wonder:
who ELSE would/could the defense depose? Remember, they need to show evidence that Vic is a creepy deviant who preys on women and children.
EDIT:
Defending themselves at all would be a wasteful squandering of money. I'm laboring under the delusion they intend to mount some sort of defense. (Okay, my turn to be

, I guess.) Though, in all likelihood, the lawyers will get together, look eachother in the eyes, and settle on some huge undisclosed sum. I REALLY hope Ty doesn't let them off without a very Very VERY public apology from EVERYONE INVOLVED. But that's just the nature of law: these things tend to fizzle out unceremoniously.
