Kennedy clan black sheep William Kennedy Smith is again facing accusations that he raped a woman. The nephew of Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and the late President John F. Kennedy was sued yesterday in Chicago by his former personal assistant, who charged that Smith, 43, sexually assaulted her in his home five years ago.
The suit, filed 13 years after Smith beat a highly publicized rape case in Florida, comes from Audra Soulias, who says Smith attacked her at his North Side digs in 1999 after plying her and friends with booze to celebrate her 23rd birthday. "He dragged me into his house, dragged me upstairs in his bedroom where he raped me," she told Chicago's WBBM-TV.
Smith blasted the allegations as "outrageous, untrue and without merit."
"Unfortunately, my family and my personal history have made me unusually vulnerable to these kinds of allegations," he said in a statement released by his Center for International Rehabilitation, devoted to improving the lives of the disabled, primarily in war-torn countries.
The suit seeks "in excess" of $50,000, but Smith said Soulias has demanded $3 million to make it go away.
Soulias says Smith, now a doctor, left four voice mail messages after the attack, saying, "It was not your fault," "I have a problem" and "I will get help if you want me to."
Her lawyer, Kevin O'Reilly, says Soulias came forward after Smith's own group began investigating other women's claims that Smith had subjected them to inappropriate sexual behavior.
"Audra is here to make sure there are no other victims of Dr. William Kennedy Smith," O'Reilly told WBBM. "This heinous behavior has to stop, and that's why we're here."
A) "If you don't have sex with me, my uncle's gonna drive you home."
ping
That
or
"My brother JFK Jr will take you for a plane right, at night, in inclement weather unless I hit that booty."
He got by with it the first time a woman brought charges against him ...Uncle Teddy helped him out of that one..wonder if he will this one???
This guy needs to fly himself to a ski vacation.
I'll even pay for the football.
Guess what his nickname was in college? THE RAPIST
I heard this from someone who went to college with him.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, Mary Jo..."
Teddy Kennedy to Representative Wilbur Mills (D-AR), after he went into the drink with an "exotic dancer" on board. "Hey Wilbur! How the hell did you get her out of the water?"
He was planning on running for a political office in the late 90's and caught so much flak, from people, myself included, he backed off! I guess he thought that it worked for Chappaquiddick Ted...
Hopefully, we are witnessing the disppearance off of America's radar screen, of the bogus Kennedy Klan. Good riddance to a bunch of nasty 'Rats.
Even worse, we will probably hear more stories of the Senator with no pants.
Sounds like the start of a Viagra commercial...
....."my family and my personal history have made me unusually vulnerable to these kinds of allegations"......
??My family??
You don't mean JFK and his romps with Ms. Monroe; or his pimp RFK; or Fat Teddy the swimmer: or all the kids, the golfer, the skier, the sailor, the pilot, the nanny-stuffer....not that family??
Kennedy clan "black sheep"?......I dun theenk so.....
more like typical...average....mainstream....one of the boys....
The Kennedy clan ARE black sheep......
Reminds me of a joke going around during his last rape trial:
Q. Why do Kennedy men cry after sex?
A. Allergy to mace.
~~Guess what his nickname was in college? THE RAPIST~~
People really need to pick up on these things earlier than they do. McGreevey's nickname in college was 'SLAMHOLE'. It should have been obvious that he liked to bugger young men.
Oh those Kennedys, they are such cut ups!
Let's see, one drowns them, one whacks them with a golf club, and the other rapes them. Such nice boys.
So this is Class of '99 rape victims of Kennedy, eh?
