[In 1976]...the 21-year-old Wu was brought to the campus police annex after his ex-girlfriend said he tried to force her to have sex, according to Raoul K. Niemeyer, then a patrol commander who questioned him.
Wu had scratches on his face and neck, and his T-shirt was stretched out of shape, Niemeyer said.
Earlier, someone had interrupted a scuffle in the woman's dorm room. A Stanford professor said the woman told him the next day that Wu had angrily attacked her. An assistant dean who counseled the woman for two months said that the woman called it attempted rape and that Wu used a pillow to muffle her screams.
Wu told police that what happened was consensual. "He said, 'We just, I was with my girlfriend, and we just got a little carried away,'" Niemeyer remembered. After that, he said, Wu "clammed up."
Wu, 49, has declined repeated requests for interviews about the incident and did not respond to written questions from The Oregonian. His campaign manager said the Portland Democrat would not answer "unsubstantiated allegations."
Wu was not arrested. The woman ultimately declined criminal prosecution and did not file a formal disciplinary complaint, former Stanford officials said. But before the next school year began, Wu was "de-selected" for a job as a dormitory resident assistant, a professor who would have supervised him said.
With Wu running for his fourth term in the 1st Congressional District this year, The Oregonian investigated a recurrent rumor that he had been accused of a sexual assault during his college years....

Where is Barbara Boxer, Senator CA, (D) and why isn't she demanding Rep. Wu's resignation, as she did Senator Packwood of Oregon? Oh. That's right, they're both Democrats.

A member of the Wu Tang Clan?
To: Beelzebubba
I'm shocked, SHOCKED that the Leftist Media actually mentions the party of the DemonRAT who is alleged to have committed this kind of crime (of course, it IS in the 7th paragraph; had it been a Pubbie, it would have been in the title and the first sentence).

If wu couldn't take no for an answer, wu risked being de-selected.
Wu shoulda known better.
