Al Gore Never Charged After Being Accused of Unwanted Sexual Contact

The Portland, Oregon Bureau of Police say a woman alleged that she was "repeatedly subjected to unwanted sexual touching" by Former Vice President Al Gore, but the case is not being pursued and Gore was never charged due to insufficient evidence.

According to police, the woman spoke with their Detective Division in January, 2009 about an incident that she says occurred between she and Gore in October, 2006. Her lawyer made the initial complaint approximately two months after the alleged offense, but the woman did not agree to be interviewed until 2009.

The woman, a Licensed Massage Therapist, told police that she was called to a local hotel to provide a massage to the former vice president, and allegedly endured unwanted sexual contact. According to the news release provided by police, "The woman reported that she still had clothes that she had worn during the encounter. But due to the description she gave of the incident, detectives did not collect the clothes as evidence because they did not feel there was any evidentiary value to the clothing."
