A lawyer for former U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman denied on Sunday accusations leveled in a lawsuit that the New York Democrat is a sexual "predator" who violated a teenager at a Boy Scout camp five decades ago.
In a suit filed this month in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, Ackerman is accused of abusing a then-17-year-old - identified only as "John Doe" - while Ackerman was a director at the Ten Mile River Camp near Narrowsburg, in upstate New York. Ackerman was 23 at the time.
"In over 30 years of public service, there has never been any accusation of this kind or indeed of any wrongdoing in the Congressman's career," attorney Oscar Michelen said in an emailed statement. He added his client would "vigorously" fight the charges and seek to get the case dismissed.
Did taxpayers cough up a settlement fee out of that $20,000,000 slush fund?
5 decades ago is a long time. Or did I misunderstand that article?
I think if more recent victims, if indeed there are any, coming forward would bolster the claim.
Notice the slush fund payments, payers, and recipients have never been made public.
Other than Paula Jones learning about “The Bent One” and getting $850,000, our media sleeps.
Another fat Marxist pig exposed (if the charges are true). He was a real piece of work, like a concrete statue of a man’s butt.
