Nah. Just one more woman who fell victim to the Clinton/Gore rape machine.

You've gone stark raving mad, Orallad.

i really dont know why we are bothering with your bigoted rhetoric..

I don't know I would seriously think something weird was up if I was a massage therapist and someone hugged me upon greeting me. I would at least right away set some boundaries.

Listen, I just didn't buy that she was scared of him, not given her responses. Someone truly in that kind of situation would not be making jokes prolonging the experience.

What’s more is that sometime before she brought up the Clinton's; supposedly Al Gore was singing in a insulting manner about "Mr. president." (Going by memory here so maybe got the song wrong, but it was something like that) So she knew he was not going to take it well if she brought the Clinton again. Why when she was trying to get out of there would she bring up something that was going to get him upset if she was so afraid of him?

I don't doubt something went on but I don't buy all of it, all that business about how she was going to be paid by the hotel and then him reaching into his pocket to pay her, then she had to back track because he had a on a robe and said something like "well, he held up his pants pockets" like they was just lying around right there by the door when he went into another room to put on his robe at the beginning. I mean it just all didn't make sense. Which is more than likely why it was dismissed.

The only reason I responded is because it upsets me terribly when it seems like people make false allegations of rape as it undermines real people who actually are raped and would make them afraid to come forward for fear of being lumped in with them.

I CAN picture Al Gore doing what this woman said he did.

Why?

This is a man who had been married for 40 years

and no group of women are now coming out of the woodwork claiming affairs or sexual assaults for that matter.

I believe in innocent until proven guilty for Al, but also for the woman. We don't know if it was a spurious charge or not. There's really not enough information to draw any sort of conclusion.

According to the report, she did not have a way to flee, and attempts to flee were only making him more aggressive.

The jokes were a way to keep him from attacking her as she tried to retreat.

I don't see why Gore would take it badly if Clinton were mentioned. Are they enemies now?

Dismissed? You mean the decision not to go forward with charges?

The main reason no charges were filed was because the victim was unwilling to pursue criminal charges.

It is true that people make false rape accusations. It is a more serious issue than just intimidating actual rape victims though. Think about the person who is falsely accused.

But this may very well not be a false accusation. The people who are saying it is a false accusation have refused to even look at the police report.

Trying to forget how rude I was earlier in the thread..

as in the italian case, I wasn't there, and don't know the evidence or lack of it.

That's not how it works...if she makes these claims, which would be defamatory if untrue, she needs evidence. Until then, the conclusion was, and is, that Al Gore is not a sex offender, because we've got nothing concrete to show otherwise.

But we don't have anything concrete to portray her as someone trying to get attention either (book deal etc) through a spurious rape charge.

You really are some kind of sad little person needing to come on here and make sh*t up

Get a bleeding life

Leave Al Gore alone. He is always attempting things and failing miserably. At least he has been accused of something apart from gross stupidity.

No, that *is* how it works. Lots of actual rape victims have only their own word to support their claim.
