Willie Gary says sex allegations are extortion (Bill Clinton Fund Raiser)

Police are investigating a famous Treasure Coast lawyer in a case involving sexual battery.

Attorney Willie Gary claims he's being extorted for millions of dollars.

Gary tells Newschannel 5 a woman accused him of sexual battery.

"There's no basis for it," says Gary. "I mean not even close. Not one iota of basis for it. It's just about money."

According to Stuart Police, the alleged rape happened at a Best Western on U.S. 1 on August 17th.

Gary says it never happened and someone is trying to extort him.

"This ain't about no rape, this is about money," says Gary. "This ain't about no sexual battery, it's about money. They came to us wanting $20 million and I'm sick of it and I'm pissed."

Gary had a fund raiser at his personal residence in Sewall's Point/Stuart,florida, for Bill Clinton when he was running for the presidency.

If I remember correctly a number of Freepers were in the area protesting this fund raiser.

Ah. A Harvard man, doubtless. ;)

It seems Mr. Gary needs to work a mite on his grammar.

Gosh, he’s an eloquent devil, isn’t he?

"Police have refused to offer comment upon the possibly connected appearance in Florida of this woman, in recent weeks":

Jesse Jackson is a good friend of his. Gary has a very Clintonian way with women not his wife, if you get my drift. He’s bought his way out of these before, but not at this level.

..."I'm the victim here of a $20 million extortion plot," says Gary. "$20 million and I am, I'm pissed."...Willie Gary is known for his multi-million dollar verdicts against corporations including Anheuser-Busch and Disney...

He ought to know extortion when he sees it...

So, it seems, that it is the amount that has him upset?

I disagree with Gary’s politics and remember he became rich from a tragedy of a familys’ death. However there has never been any hint that his personal life is cause for public or private scandal.

At this point I think the charge is without merit and an attempt to target a well known rich public figure. Should firm evidence to the contrary appear I will stand by that evidence no matter my personal opinion.

Personally I could care less one way or the other.

His speach patterns are more to appeal to those who would appear on a jury and no one else.

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten about that incident. I do not admire the man and think he is a glory grabber. But I am very, very skeptical about this woman’s claims.

This is from an old FR post about Willie Gary hosting the fund raiser for Clinton.

There also may be more articles in the FR archives about the Free Republic Navy protesting Clinton’s appearance.

New strategy - demand Rapist’s hosts pay police overtime

March 20, 1999 glc1173@aol.com

Port Sewall showed a new strategy for keeping the “greeting” Schmucko gets from Real America in the local headlines longer; demand his hosts (Willie Gary and others)pay the police-overtime costs their guest inflicts on localities. Read about how the Martin County media shamed the grandee who hosted him in Port Sewall into paying those costs at www.alamanceind.com
