2/24/99 Freeper Texvegan on Young Female Lawyer in Little Rock
"…3) It does not appear that you listed the sexual assault on the young
woman lawyer in Little Rock. In Roger Morris' book Partners in Power, Morris
says this woman claims Bill Clinton "forced himself on her, biting,
bruising her".…The incident is on page 238 of his book…."
The Washington Weekly 3/01/99 Edward Zehr "…
Beverly Lambert provided details of Clinton's assault on a "young woman
lawyer" he met at a Democratic fundraiser in Little Rock in the late '70s.
The incident had been mentioned in a book by Roger Morris, "Partners in
Power." The victim had talked to Morris on condition of confidentiality.
After the fundraiser at a popular waterfront restaurant, known then as
Fisherman's Wharf, "She offered Clinton a ride home. And once he got her
alone in her car, he grabbed this woman and assaulted her. He did his trademark
thing; exposed himself, asked her to 'kiss it,' and pushed her head down into
his lap," according to Lambert. The woman went home and told her husband,
who subsequently confronted Clinton, obtaining a "sheepish" apology
from him. But the couple were unwilling to talk to Jones' investigators. Do you
wonder why? Lambert explains: "Right after they talked to Roger Morris,
her husband was suddenly appointed to head up the Arkansas Real Estate
Commission," says Beverly. "I'm sure that job pays pretty well. She
works for the state, too. So at this point they're afraid for their jobs."
Does that sound excessively cynical? Shouldn't we give then the benefit of a
doubt? Beverly Lambert explains further: "The husband was cooperative when
Rick first called, but said he wanted to check with someone before he talked
further. When he called back he was totally hostile and started calling Rick
every name in the book."…’
Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99 "..."A young woman lawyer in
Little Rock claimed that she was accosted by Clinton while he was attorney
general and that when she recoiled he forced himself on her, biting and
bruising her," writes Roger Morris on P. 238 of Partners in Power. He
continues, "Deeply affected by the assault, the woman decided to keep it
all quiet for the sake of her own hard-won career and that of her husband."
Her husband ran into Clinton later and threatened to kill him if Clinton ever
approached her, writes Morris....."
