James O'Keefe has agreed to cough up $100,000 and an apology to a former ACORN employee whose privacy was allegedly violated when the conservative activist videotaped him in an undercover sting effort to bring down the community advocacy group. Court documents obtained by Wonkette on Thursday showed that O'Keefe "regrets any pain suffered" by Juan Carlos Vera, who was unjustly fired in 2009 after O'Keefe provided conservative media outlets with a videotape of the former ACORN employee appearing to agree to smuggle young girls into the U.S. from Mexico to work as prostitutes. In fact, Vera contacted the police after O'Keefe's visit to ACORN offices, something that the conservative provocateur insisted that he wasn't aware of when the tape was deceptively edited to make it seem like the ACORN employee was agreeing to aid human trafficking.
