Oregon prosecutor says no Gore prosecution
2010-07-30
Move it along, nuthin to see here...
Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, and crazed sex poodle Al Gore won't be prosecuted over allegations by a masseuse that he groped and assaulted her in his Portland hotel room in 2006, the county prosecutor said Friday.

District Attorney Michael Schrunk said the case has numerous problems and isn't appropriate for a criminal prosecution.

Among the difficulties that Schrunk cited: Although the red-haired masseuse said she was terrified of Gore, she also said she called him after their encounter and told him to "dream of redheaded women."

Schrunk also said the woman -- Molly Hagerty -- told the hotel she appreciated the business referrals it had given her, and didn't mention any problems with Gore just two nights earlier.

Gore denied the charges, including under questioning July 22 by local detectives. His aides welcomed the news.

"Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago," spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said in a statement. "He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved."

#2  there never was gonna be a prosecution. I seem to remember another famous and powerful man who was accused of everything from exposing himself to trailer trash to raping a woman and telling her to "put ice on it" where he bit her. Al learned well at the foot of the master. At least they support women's right's. Most of the time
