Gore Vidal doesn’t have the facts straight.
Let’s not get sidetracked by his calling the girl a hooker.
This isn’t a case of a hooker thinking she got mistreated.
This is the case of a “hooker” being under the legal age of consent.
We keep this straight, right Old Gore Vidal? I know he’s getting old, but this is too stupid.
Even if the girl was a hooker, the case is based on her being underaged.
Since when do hookers say no. Hookers say “That trick will cost you more.”
She is nolt a public figure, as in politician, TV star, etc., so she has the legal rights of a private citizen.
Which means that she can sue the socks off him for libel or slander, according to what he actually said or wrote.
He is a jerk and I hope she hangs one on him.
