ALLEGATIONS of a sex assault by former US Vice President Al Gore were investigated by police in Portland in 2009, the District Attorney's office in Multnomah County, Oregon revealed today.
An Oregon woman initially brought a complaint of “unwanted sexual contact” by Mr Gore to the DA’s office in late 2006 and early 2007 but did not want criminal investigations to proceed.
District Attorney Michael Schrunk said his office was made aware today of a further investigation by Portland police in 2009.
“If the complainant and the Portland Police Bureau wish to pursue the possibility of a criminal prosecution, additional investigation by the Bureau will be necessary and will be discussed with the Portland Police Bureau,” Mr Schrunk said in a written statement.
Mr Gore and his wife of 40 years Tipper announced their separation earlier this month. The news was followed by reports that the former VP was having an affair with Laurie David, fellow environmentalist and ex-wife of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Larry David.
