Well, one of those Al Gore tabloid stories has some legs.
The National Enquirer reported earlier this week that the former vice president had groped an Oregon masseuse. Then, on Thursday, a 2009 complaint came to light, with the woman telling police what happened in Gore’s Portland hotel room when he requested some “abdominal work” in October 2006.
Gore, according to the woman, at one point started making sexual noises. “He was moaning, groaning, moving and acting in a very suggestive way,” the unnamed woman told police. At another he grabbed her hand and put it on his crotch and later gave her a “come hither” look and tried to have sex with her. “I squirmed to try and get out of his grasp, telling him stop, don’t, several times and I finally told him and said, ‘You’re being a crazed sex poodle,’ hoping that he’d realize how weird he was being, yet he persisted,” she told police.
The woman later discovered stains on the front of her pants — and didn’t launder them.
Her lawyer originally contacted police in late 2006, but the woman didn’t want to be interviewed by police. She changed her mind and spoke to law enforcement in January 2009.
Al Gore was informed Wednesday by the district attorney involved in the case that he wouldn’t be charged with sexual harassment, the Associated Press reported.
