From the CBS 8 West Alabama Newsroom -- The Alabama Supreme Court has refused to remove supervisors with the Alabama Department of Public Safety as defendants in a suit filed by a woman who claims she was sexually abused by a former state trooper from Selma.

The supervisors had argued that they were immune because they were acting as agents of the state. The Supreme Court disagreed in a ruling Friday.

The trooper, Kerry Horton of Selma, was fired in 2008 after a woman complained that he sexually abused her following a traffic stop in Perry County. A grand jury indicted him in November on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse.
