Al Gore Accused of 'Unwanted Sexual Contact' in 2006, No Charges Filed, Oregon Authorities Confirm

The problem with allegations made against a well known person like Al Gore is that they are nearly impossible to validate. We have all witnessed the recent unraveling of many famous men based upon their infidelity issues and it would be easy to put the Al Gore allegations in the same pot as these other factual cases of other famous men. However, we simply do not know the truth about this Al Gore incident, and in this country.....truth is the foundation of our judicial system. Why didn't the massage lady go to the authorities immediately and press charges? It appears that money was more of the issue and not the emotional or physical abuse allegation matters. It is sad that these types of allegations are considered true. Maybe these allegations were taken by the tide of other unrelated national events which we all witnessed sweeping away many half-truths into the sea of misinformation?

So she wasnts a civil suit (money) but doesn't want a criminal investigation ... that right there tells you this is just a shakedown. Shame on any of these news outlets for pursuing this. Doesn't matter what your politics are, this is just plain extortion.

I've been following this woman's story for the last few days in the Oregonian and the more that comes out the more of a 'nut' she sounds like. Before ruining a man's life you need more than what this woman is offering as proof of sexual assault.

Phoney extortion, I believe the victim. I remember hanging chads
in Florida from Al'S machine politics. He can give up his I pod
OH I forgot that's in a river somewhere. Then again he could offer
to take a polygraph test. No he probally wont opt for any of those.
As for the victim not reporting it. She did report it to Portland
Police. Portland is one of the most democratic cities in the nation.

So if this happenned Why did she wait so long to go public the timing of the divorce does make one wonder though

DON'T BELIEVE IT.

"Our fathers claimed, by obvious madness moved,
Man's innocent until his guilt is proved.
They would have known, had they not been confused,
He's innocent until he is accused." - Ogden Nash

Why did you publish Al Gore's name here, and not his accuser's name ? What if Al is the victim of a phony extortion attempt here ? Does she deserve to have her name protected when we have no idea if her accusation is even true or not ?

RIGHT!! $$$$..
