Let’s see if the mainstream media will cover this story of Gore throwing a woman down and trying to force her into sex. It’s interesting the lack of attention that this story is getting despite Gore being the vice-president for 8 years, a Senator, a Presidential candidate, a Nobel peace prize winner, and leading spokesman for global warming. Maybe the mainstream media is still focusing on that “insignificant former governor of Alaska”. Strange how we kept hearing about rumors of Sarah Palin’s alleged troubled marriage and of alleged infidelity, but a police report on Gore’s allege sexual assault is all but ignored. Double standard?
According to a 73-page “Confidential Special Report” made public by authorities Wednesday, the “licensed massage therapist” stated she was summoned to a suite at the upscale Lucia Hotel at the request of a guest, where “during the course of this massage session Al Gore did sexually assault me in his room.”
In a detailed statement given to police more than two years after the alleged incident the woman described her surprise at arriving for the VIP massage appointment to find Al Gore drinking beer and opening his arms in a hug saying “Call Me Al.”
But she said her VIP client later turned “angry and threatening” when she resisted Gore’s efforts to force her hand to his inner thigh and lower abdominal area during the massage and then attempted to rip her clothes as she struggled against him, she told police.
Gore “flipped me flat on my back and threw his whole body face down over atop me pinning me down and outweighing me by quite a bit,” injuring her back and legs, she claimed. “He kept trying to have sex with me,” said the woman, who described the situation as “frightening.”
According to the report, the woman said Gore booked the appointment using the pseudonym “Mr. Stone.”
In a statement accompanying the report, Portland Police said that after initially refusing to cooperate in early 2007, the masseuse returned in 2009, finally offering to be interviewed by investigators, bringing a prepared statement and the clothes she said she had worn that night as evidence.
