Pay-up time for Brawley: '87 rape-hoaxer finally shells out for slander
NY Post ^ | August 4, 2013 | MICHAEL GARTLAND

Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.

Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.

A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.

She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.

“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash.

I can’t possibly be saying anything new here but it bears repeating...

She worked for years under a fake name. Since she worked in a reoutable field I assume they has a SS number to hire her...

Which means she committed identity theft/fraud.

So where are the new charges? And why isn’t anyone pressing them and following through?

Whose SS did she steal?

Where did she get it?

Is Sharpton involved?

Good questions! Seems to me, she would have had to have some ‘help’ in remaining anonymous.

That would only be a crime if she was a white Hispanic.

Yet Al Sharpton is rewarded time and time again and is still in the business. He needs to be stripped of all his earnings and jailed!

That is a good question. You are correct, he probably has no “income” technically.

she would have had to have some ‘help’ in remaining anonymous.

A couple of years ago, her mother and step-father gave an interview, probably after TB was tracked down in VA.

Since she's in TROP now, step-daddy said "she could walk in to any mosque and they would protect her."

I was thinking at the time, why don't they pay her liabilities, but then they, and their fellow travelers wouldn't have TB as a wedge issue to cause divisiveness in the country.

Instead, they give her just enough help to remain a thorn in society.

TB is, and has been, a useful idiot for decades.

Lots of help. And in high places. High profile people don’t just vanish like she did. And I can’t be made to believe Sharpton and the rest of the racebait industry up to and including the CBC over the years wasn’t in on it.

someone needs to ask Sharpton for his reaction to this... on nstional television of course. and then maybe start drawing parallels to the zimmerman case. That would be entertaining.

What I read in the article indicates that Sharpton was assessed $60k and Johnnie Cochran paid it for him.

Obveously this money does not come from 6 months as a nurse. It is from some sort of slush fund the left has gotten into to keep Twana’s name back in that crap encrusted bag. She was a tool of leftist black organizations and is a have nothing. (Rev Al is a different kind of tool)

I would not be surprised if the regime coordinated her payment to Pagones to keep the noise down.
