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."

The former Vice President and his now-estranged wife transferred nine of their Carthage, Tennessee properties from their names into a Limited Liability Company just months after the unnamed woman made the accusations, the New York Post is reporting.
AUDIO: Cops Release Interview Tape From Al Gore Accuser
Gore was facing what could have been a potentially crippling lawsuit when the police complaint was lodged in January 2009.
And by making the transfer, completed on November 30th 2009, the Gores could potentially protect their homes and other assets from any legal claims.

The Gores’ $8.8 million Montecito, CA estate, which they acquired last October, was purchased through a trust.
As previously reported, RadarOnline.com obtained audio recordings of the interview between a detective and the massage therapist making the claims against the Nobel Prize-winning Gore.
The woman spoke at great length about her hotel room encounter with Gore, who she branded a “‘crazed sex poodle.”

She said, among other things, he groped her and forced her hand down his trousers.
Police have not brought any charges against Gore and the case is closed unless new evidence is brought to light.
EEEEKKKKKK!!!!!
The Portland Oregonian worships Obama, Gore, Clinton , totally in the bag, no honest reporting will ever come out of there
It will be settled out of court once they agree on the price
chakra???? I thought it was pronounced katra
Al looks up to the stain master.....
He’s a perverted pig-man...Ooops, I meant poodle!
Al needs to personally come forward and set the record straight ...
Nothing complicated, just a simple statement would suffice ...
"I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not sexually attack that woman, Ms. Hagerty. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And now I need to go back to work to save the world. Thank you."
At the very least, it will damage Gore’s public image and credibility tremendously, and that is a good thing.
Bill Clinton would still be damaged goods and seriously hindered from waging war on conservatives, if GWB had not taken it upon himself to rehabilitate the perv’s public image, and claim the rapist as a long lost brother.
Politicians are slime.
Gore did not pay her directly. It was arranged through the hotel. The hotel staff paid her.
No way. From the sound of things he already got off...
Is he still running for President? Just because a president who treated women like wank rags was once POTUS doesn’t mean that treating women like wank rags means you’ll BECOME POTUS, Al.
New definition for the slang dictionary:
Gorebal Swarming - the act of dry humping an unwilling victim like a crazed sex poodle
Ah, the John Edwards defense. Ask the Breck girl how well that worked for him.
