Pay-up time for Brawley: '87 rape-hoaxer finally shells out for slander
NY Post ^ | August 4, 2013 | MICHAEL GARTLAND

Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.

Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.

A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.

She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.

“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash.

Sharpton and his Black Ku Klux Klan friends
******
Makes one wonder what MLK would think about today’s race baiting industry, rampant black-on-black crime, the violent hip-hop culture, sad deteriorating state of the black family, etc. I don’t think this is the kind of dream he had.

Sharpton perpetuated the lie, therefore he should be liable.

These people MUST be clinically insane

Nope they are perfectly sane.

It works for them.

People that swallow this crap are the insane ones.

Pagones said he’d forgive the debt if Brawley admits the truth.

It's too bad this is only being reported in the NY Post.

If I am not mistaken, Johnny Cochran — one of the attorneys who helped OJ get acquitted — literally paid what Sharpton owed Pagones, according to Ann Coulter in the book MUGGED.

It's a Post Exclusive. I picked it up on Twitter. What will be interesting is who picks it up and who doesn't.

True. It’s an interesting development in a once-important national story that is still talked about. And the Sharpton connection and all the focus on race recently makes it timely. Which makes it an interesting test for the media.

Who knows what MLK would think of it? That’s the game of putting words in the mouth of a deceased historical figure. We do know that in his last few years MLK’s rhetoric was quite leftist and he promoted the idea that blacks should get jobs in management in proportion to their share of the population, which probably indicates he was for affirmative action. MLK was not a small government conservative.

Indeed.

She looks like any number of VA hospital nurses. . .and with just as much heart and compassion and technical competence.

People in NY might vote for Tawana Brawley if she ran for high office so as to give her the “justice” due.

White Guilt Liberals

That's the people that Nixon and Ford tried to court, but most preferred HHH, McGovern, and Carter.

What is there to apologize for? She's a fraud. Everybody KNOWS she's a fraud. She was found guilty of fraud. So if she refuses to admit it, she's just making herself look like even MORE of a fraud, if that's possible.

Denial is strong with this one ...

Sharpton, Maddox and the other clown who was involved. Brawley was a teen who was most likely was having problems at home. Maybe her step father was coming on to her (who know?)—but the race baiters, Sharpton and company, made a false spectacle out of it, and as a result a man’s (Pagones) life was ruined. Brawley, you’re still a creep! Maybe you were young and stupid when this shit actually happened, but you’re an adult now—and still being a punky defiant child.
