A former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples has now been ordered to pay $260,000 to cover the legal costs of a couple whom she denied nearly 10 years ago.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to fork over the six-digit figure, which is in addition to a $100,000 award that a jury ordered her to pay to the couple in September.

This new award, issued by U.S. District Judge Daniel Bunning, will cover $246,026.40 in attorneys fees and $14,058.30 in expenses that David Ermold and David Moore reported racking up in their lawsuit against Davis.

Bunning said he reviewed the attorneys detailed time records and considered rates of inflation before approving the award.
