When Donald Trump invited several women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to Sunday nights debate, he also highlighted a case that may have been unfamiliar to many voters -- that of Kathy Shelton.
Unlike the claims of Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey -- the other women hosted by Trump -- Sheltons accusations are not aimed at Bill Clinton. Rather, she alleges Hillary Clinton verbally attacked her while defending the man Shelton had accused of rape in 1975.
And while Clinton pushed back during the debate as Trump cited their stories, there is a paper trail to back up some of Shelton's account.
Shelton was 12 years old when she accused 41-year-old Thomas Alfred Taylor of rape. Taylor was defended by a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, who took up the case despite saying she didnt want it -- and called into question Shelton's reliability.

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."-- U.S. Constitution, Sixth Amendment.
If anyone is interested in the facts concerning Clinton’s defense of a man who violently raped a 12 year-old girl, here is an overview. Some of what I will tell you is not what the opponents of Clinton are saying, they are sensationalizing some of it.
She was asked to defend this man by a judge who was a donor to her husband’s campaigns. He had ever right to a fair defense and she agreed. The rape was violent, and though some say Shelton was in a comma for a few days, I have seen nothing to back that up. She was traumatized and required 5 years of intensive therapy. Her reproductive organs were damages so badly by the attack,she did lose the ability to have children.
A key element of the case concerned a portion of her underpants stained with semen that tested positive to the attacker. For some odd reason that section of the underpants was cut out. After Clinton was brought in, the semen-stained part of the underpants were conveniently lost by the crime lab? I’m betting that once Clinton was brought in, they wanted her to look good, so they made sure the key evidence was lost.
Clinton also provided an affidavit with unsubstantiated claims that the 12 year old was known to like older men and fantasized about them, that adolescent girls romanticize about sex. Adolescent, this was a 12 year-old. She gave no names of people who told her that Shelton liked older men etc.
Clinton sent the remaining portion of the underpants to NY. Of course in AR they had already tested the entire garment and only found semen in the area lost. So it was obvious the lab in NY would find nothing. When Clinton got that report back, she took it to the prosecutor and said “I have a guy in NY who is willing to testify on my clients behalf for what he sees as a “miscarriage of justice”.
In the radio interview she then laughs, she knows he’s guilty and this guy from NY thinks if the guy is tried it’s a “miscarriage of justice”. The guy in NY had no idea the semen stained portion of the underpants had been lost. Her guy in NY thinks they are trying to railroad this poor guy with no evidence. Both the radio host and Clinton think this is funny.
So they have to drop the charges to fondling, he pleads guilty and only gets 1 year, but he was in prison for two months, so he’s released for time served. She thinks that’s kind of cool and seemed proud of that, almost cocky.
The other laugh people are talking, is when in the earlier interview she says her client took a polygraph and passed it, “which forever destroyed her faith in polygraphs.” She knew he raped her, the semen they found confirmed it and she’s laughing about passing the polygraph.
The bottom line was that this women’s life was ruined and Clinton was very cavalier about the entire incident. She said nothing about the poor 12 year-old girl.
But as you can tell from the two interviews, it’s always about Clinton, what makes her look good, regardless of who she’s hurting, even a 12year-old. There’s an arrogance about it all, a look-how-well-I-played-this attitude in her comments. So proud of getting the monster off with only 2 months served.
That’s not what you lied about, Mr Specious.
That’s what hurts her: she enjoyed getting the child rapist off the hook. The Wicked Witch was defending evil, knew she was doing so, and was proud that she was successful.
a liberal's ears may receive this information, but somewhere between the ear and the brain, it turns into evidence that Trump is evil
Let it be noted she retrains his advancing hand.

How do you get that one on facebook?
I know that you didn’t. I just thought that that fact needed to be pointed out, so that nobody would be confused about what really happened. Yes, she had a legal duty to represent a client. But she went way beyond that, and succumbed to The Evil Within her. She has not looked back since.
You’re telling me that you can’t abstain from defending someone you know is guilty? And why is that ethical to know a client is guilty and attack a 12 year old child as having sought this man our for sex? I’m sick of these excuses for this because this is an evil thing to do and I don’t want to hear one has no choice.
Defense attorneys for the guilty that play these games to win are amongst the most evil on this earth. Justice should not be this game of lies.
When a defense lawyer builds their case on LYING that is no great system of justice. These games and the defense attorneys that go for lying and slandering victims are the most evil.
Represent the client by lying when they are guilty, right? Our justice system really isn’t so great. So many murderers and rapists get off with the games.
I keep wondering about this because it’s said she was forced. I’d leave that job if that’s what it took, but Hillary will destroy anyone in her ambition.
Hillary also said she knew he was guilty so her case was built on lying.
Thank for posting that pic/gif
I was gonna look for it.
I wonder if that is the one that outed the impeached disgraced rapist ex president as assaulting her?
Great. Now look deeper.
Bill and Hillary marry Oct 11, 1975.
What else is going on.
Given what we know now... what is important ?
A post from another page.
1: She has just left Washington impeachment team.
— gotta have some big time connections to get on that team.
2: Says she is helping Bill run for Congress. Where does this case fall in
On that time line.
3: This is a serious case.
- Why is this 2-bit, rookie lawyer being placed in the case:
- Wasn’t she fired from the Impeachment case?
- If you are jailed for rape, do you want a ‘female attorney’ with no case experiences or do you want a seasoned trial attorney?
“There isn’t any doubt the Clintons were well known from the beginning and going places in politics. Mahlon Gibson knew her and contacted her. There’s nothing more to it in regards to how she came to accept this case.
In late 1974, Rodham arrived in Fayetteville, Ark., after working for nearly a year on the legal staff of the House committee investigating Watergate. Her friends thought she was throwing away a promising big-city career, but she was intent on helping her boyfriend Bill Clinton get elected to Congress that year and was intrigued by her new job running the universitys nascent legal aid clinic.
Her life, as would so often happen through the years, diverged from the script. Before the clinic was up and running, Rodham was forced to wage a protracted battle with a local judge named Tom Butt to grant students permission to represent poor clients. Next, Bill Clinton lost his congressional race, effectively stranding her in Arkansas while he plotted a run for attorney general. Then came the agonizing Taylor case.
Rodham immersed herself in the work, people involved in the case say, mounting a ferocious and exhaustively researched defense that made a strong impression on some in the male-dominated legal community in northern Arkansas.
She was just a real bulldog a real bulldog, said former Washington County prosecutor Mahlon Gibson, her opponent in the case.”
