Basabe Trial: Explosive Testimony Blocked | Gainesville News

Day two of Fabian Basabe’s civil trial exploded with shocking testimony from an anonymous witness, “TS,” who claims Basabe drugged and assaulted him two decades ago — but the judge shut it down as too prejudicial. Basabe, representing himself, admitted being offended by accusations and defended his fiery language, calling accusers “scum” while insisting he’s entitled to his opinions. Evidence included a photo of him kissing his boyfriend while married — he called it “not about labels.” The trial also touched on a 2023 House Report finding allegations inconclusive and Basabe’s own social media posts, which he said he might delete if they hurt plaintiffs — but also called one accuser a “loser.” With the trial winding down, Basabe insists he’s innocent, denying all claims of harassment, battery, and defamation against him.
