The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now has filed suit against the two undercover activists that captured ACORN employees on tape helping a “pimp” and “prostitute” attempt tax evasion and open a brothel for underaged sex slaves.

ACORN on Wednesday sued the duo who shot hidden-camera videos that are damaging the organization’s reputation and the Web site that aired them, as the Internal Revenue Service broke off its partnership with the liberal community activist group.

The lawsuit accuses James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles of violating Maryland law that requires two-party consent for electronic surveillance. It also names as a defendant the news Web site Breitbart.com, which first posted the video.

The suit was filed in Maryland on Thursday–the duo’s first sting took place at ACORN’s Maryland office. ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis justified the multi-million dollar suit saying:

“Although we do not condone what our former employees did, no matter how entrapped they were, we are also committed to our 500,000 members that we will hold the defendants civilly and criminally responsible for their violations of Maryland laws and for the damages inflicted upon ACORN’s reputation.”
