Portland police will investigate accusations that Al Gore groped woman

A Portland massage therapist accused former Vice President Al Gore of "unwanted sexual contact" at a hotel during an October 2006 visit, but no charges were filed due to lack of evidence, law officials said last week. Today, Portland police officials say they will reopen the investigation.
Portland police announced today that it will re-open and investigate a Portland massage therapist’s allegations that former Vice President Al Gore sexually assaulted her at a downtown hotel in October 2006.
The announcement comes as the therapist went public for the first time, telling the National Enquirer that she demanded a full police investigation of her complaint.
Molly Hagerty is photographed in the latest edition of the National Enquirer, holding the black pants she wore that night. She’s quoted saying she paid for a DNA analysis of a stain on the pants. The paper also mentioned videotape footage from the Hotel Lucia, where the encounter occurred, and named a computer consultant who told the tabloid that Hagerty called her at about 4 a.m. Oct. 24, 2006, and told her immediately about details of the attack.
Portland police said last week they considered the case closed unless new evidence surfaced. Police did not explain their decision today.
"Consistent with our policy regarding open investigations, the Police Bureau will not be commenting on any additional specifics regarding this case at this time,'' Portland Det. Mary Wheat, bureau spokeswoman, said in a news release.
A Gore family spokeswoman released a statement disputing Hagerty’s account.
"The Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading, and inaccurate story generated by tabloids," said the response issued by spokeswoman Kalee Kreider. "Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He stands by that denial."

» Hear the police interview with the massage therapist Hagerty first filed a complaint through her attorney two months after the 2006 encounter, but then refused to meet with detectives on three occasions. Then in January 2009, she presented a detailed statement to Portland sexual assault investigators.
She told investigators that Gore groped her, kissed her and made unwanted sexual advances during a late-night massage session in a suite at the upscale Hotel Lucia. She said she told two friends and kept the clothes she wore that night, including her black pants with stains on them. But Portland police didn’t contact any of the woman’s friends, obtain the potential evidence or interview anyone at the hotel, records show.
"The case was not investigated any further because detectives concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations," the Portland Police Bureau said in a prepared statement last week.
The Oregonian generally does not name people who report sexual assaults, but is naming Hagerty because she has made her allegations public.
Today, the district attorney’s office said it had no further comment, but stands by its statement issued last week. In that, Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said: "If the complainant and the Portland Police Bureau wish to pursue the possibility of a criminal prosecution, additional investigation by the Bureau will be necessary and will be discussed with the Portland Police Bureau."

HOW can she prove that he forced himself upon her?
It's all "he said, she said," and won't go further than the tabloids and cable TV.
Makes you wonder how many other women he foisted himself upon? And if any of them will come forward?
What woman would want to have sex with that creep?
Maybe we should call him.....TiGore.
Isn't it a crime to have "sexual relations" with a subordinate government employee, consensual or not?
Blame it on global whoring.
Right. Portland police will investigate. Recall the portland mayor is a homo with a penchant for young boys. He molested a young boy in a filthy public bathroom about 2 years ago and yet remains as mayor. Queers rule in Porkland.
This is definitely something the obamanation administration needs to look into!
Obama's "Safe School Czar" Kevin
"use a condom" Jennings

From the Washington Times...
EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009
A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar". ..."
According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night...".
On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated." ...

Like Tiger Woods, he might be scared a little, and his wife has already left him but he won’t be charged with anything. IMO
Great work, LMAO!
Well done!
Will Algore’s picture be included in the “celebrity mug shots” section of those crappy legacy media web sites? Sure hope so. Sure doubt it.
Hmmmm...I would think that Portland’s CofP would bend only to the will of Mayor Sam Adams, himself an accused pervert. Curious.
Al Gore will be found guilty and convicted. The ruling will be thrown out by Kagan in the Supreme Court because Oregon law discriminates between rapists who live in Oregon and persons who travel into the state from elsewhere.
If Al Gore had lived in Oregon, the statute of limitations on this claim would already have expired.
She should be going to the Justice Department to take action against the corrupt officials who originally shelved her case without looking at her DNA stained trousers.
If it’s true, good for her coming forward.
If it’s a fraud, algore met his match.
So either way, it’s all good.
The media covered up this case but considered a man "allegedly" tapping his foot in a bathroom stall to be THE leading story of the 2006 election.
There's a culture of corruption alright.
Tiger Woods wasn't even accused of rape and he lost his endorsement deals.
Why is Al Gore still on the board of directors at Apple Computers?
Accessories to the crime? No. Corrupt to the core? Absolutely.
The Pravda Media has been colluding with the DNC on news items and election coverage for decades, every damn election cycle.
The media WAS an accessory in the "Foleygate" controversy, the press and the DNC held MORE information than the GOP had, held it until an October Surprise (and even noted that it would be more adventagous to wait) and then cried that the GOP "knew and did nothing".
The truth came out in the subsequent congressional investigation.
So, Portland police are so incompetent that they don’t investigate a sexual assault case until two years AFTER it was reported?
