Portland Police Re-Open Al Gore Case Involving Allegations of ‘Unwanted Sexual Touching’

ET has learned that police in Portland have decided to re-open a case involving former Vice President Al Gore, in which a woman alleges that she was "repeatedly subjected to unwanted sexual touching."

The news comes one week after the Portland, Oregon Bureau of Police said the case was not being pursued and that Gore was never charged due to insufficient evidence.

A rep for the Gore family tells ET, "Further investigation into this matter will only benefit Mr. Gore. The Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading, and inaccurate story generated by tabloids. Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He stands by that denial."
