I did a lot of research on this years ago (before the internet existed). If you want some really good information, go to a library and get old copies of "Time" and "Newsweek" from July, 1969. They both had a lot of great quotes from people familiar with the incident, plus, you will be shocked to find out how unbiased these magazines were 35 years ago.
Sexual assault tendances appear to be firmly entrenched in the Kennedy family's jeans.
This is the guy you had confused with Kennedy cousin Skakel.
Can you blame me? - what a sordid family.
I did the same thing too, and then re-read the articles on this site and it reminded me of the affair.
The two guys that Kennedy spoke to after the incident, Joe Gargan and Paul Markham, the two lawyers were ordered not to speak to anyone regarding the incident as Kennedy maintained attorney client privilige with the two.
What happened to these guys? I mean they were livid about Kennedy not reporting the accident. Kennedy on the other hand, according to them, went to his hotel room and expected by the next morning that Gargan and Markham had "taken care" of things.
The water six feet deep and almost completely submerged. There was a strong current from the river...I don't think most people would have the presence of mind, if upside down, to roll down the window and climb out...esp with water coming in...

It's in the genes and in the jeans.
"what a sordid family"
I hear that William Kennedy Smith finally figured out why he always cries in the presence of women....It's from the mace.
Underworld royalty maybe. They are a one-family, multi-generational crime wave, and a blight on this nation.
IIRC Gargan became the family spokesman for this sordid affair. I have a vague recollection of him standing in front of microphones and lying for that turd.

Yes, initally he did do this, but he came out much later with his side when many in the Kennedy camp were blaming him and Markham for not protecting the Senator, ie having the party in the first place, and letting him drink too much etc.
This is why I ask the question, what happened to them, as they were really the only people who actually knew what had happened.
If I had his kind of money and I was innocent...I would spend every single, last dime to exonerate myself and restore the name of myself and my family. There is NO WAY I would pay those kinds of settlements if I were innocent. Who would? Why give money to someone if the allegations are not true? Why would you take money away from yourself or your family and give it to someone if you were truly innocent?????????????????????
To future Stupid Jurors: THIS rape and the other rape are what happens when you get starry eyed over "celebrity" and find them not guilty and they are not in jail. Idiots.
Did this guy ever get his license to practice medicine?
