Former Vice President Al Gore was cleared of sexual abuse charges Friday in Portland, Ore.
Gore, 62, was accused of making "unwanted sexual contact" with a massage therapist, Molly Hagerty, in 2006.
The Portland district attorney determined he did not commit acts of sexual harassment "appropriate for criminal prosecution," according to ABCNews.com.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Don Rees questioned Hagerty for selling her story to the National Enquirer, failing a polygraph test and thanking the hotel management for sending her extra business two days after the incident allegedly occurred.
"This case is not appropriate for criminal prosecution. The matter is closed and the investigative materials will be returned to PPB [the Portland Police Bureau]," says Rees.
Gore's spokeswoman, Kalee Kreider, issued a statement: "Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved."
Tell Us What You Think
25I guess now Al Gore has been cleared of the sex pest allegations he will be emerging again to scare the children about rising sea levels and carbon footprints. Strange that he has bought yet another energy-guzzling mansion, this one on the ocean-front and travels around the world by private jet though. climatedigest.org
is it me or is he starting to look like Eddie van halen? Must be me.
Thank God! Now he can concentrate on the scam of global whining which is making him rich.
SHE FAILED A POLYGRAPH....
the women is a nut case who couldn't keep her story straight and yeah if she had a pot to pee in he should sue her..Our newspaper printed huge headlines about the so called "crime" and only a small article about him being cleared. It is run by Republicans so no one was that surprised..
I'd sue that chick!
Anyone who sells it to the tabloids or any media needs to lose their case. I am not saying Gore is innocent, too many claims by different women for thnat not to be some truth, but all these beoches make a mint off of accusations. Nada.
Glad he got off... That should be a new law that you case is thrown out if you go to the tabloids first..!! Here that Okasana..!!!!RADAR OWNS ALL YOUR CASE..
Yes and slimy women who go to the tabloids first...aka Okasana..every detail of her case is through Radar owned and paid for ..so Go ahead and try Okasana..too and ANY OTHER women out there..Yeah right ..as if he did that..Bill Clinton yes.. Not everyone is that stupid to know that even if you are rich that is y they target you..in the first place.. So tell us where is the proof just hear say and a good story for Enquirer.. Enquirer and Radar should unite for stories like this
Now he can do the Macarena.
You have power and money, you get away with anything.
Like I said on another board, this crazt chick would have been better off trying to claim to be one of Tiger Woods' skanks. You could tell she was a liar just from the police report alone.
I'm so thrilled to hear this, he doesn't seem like he'd ever hurt a fly!
I KNEW Al Gore was innocent. I never had any doubt. I think she was a prostitute. Her story is she was summened to his hotel room in the middle of the night and he was drinking. She gave him a massage anyway. Well yes, men get frisky when some s.l.u.t is massaging them in bed. Especially when their drunk.
Where there is smoke there is fire. They all can't be wrong.
rich people are always being accused of things they didn't do
All these slimy old guys who use their power to assault women. Keep it in your pants, losers. No wonder more and more women seem to be turning gay.
What a shock the local boys won't prosecute the big boy. It's obvious Al Gore sexually abused these women and who knows how many others. Just because his power got him out of it doesn't mean people don't know the truth. It's really disappointing because he seemed like a really honorable man. Now he's repulsive old man.
You would think that women that go to men's hotel rooms for "just a massage" would know how to let their clients know from the get-go that it is not going to be one of "those" kind of massages.... you know, the kind that 95% of hotel massages are.
What about the other two woman who say he did something perverted in Asia? Those cases aren't closed.
