Pic of 'JFK' sex storm girl Scandal ... Alex Poller By BRIAN FLYNN in New York
THIS is the girl at the centre of a sex scandal that threatens Democratic front-runner John Kerry’s run for the White House. Presidential hopeful Kerry, dubbed the new JFK, has denied claims he had a two-year fling with brunette Alex Polier. Alex, 27, was a cross-country runner and in the world affairs club at her Philadelphia school. One source said: “She was attractive, intelligent and one of the leaders in her year.” She went on to graduate from Columbia University, New York, and met Kerry, 60, as she began a career as a freelance journalist. But a probe was under way yesterday into allegations that twice-wed Kerry seduced her after inviting her to join his campaign team in spring 2001. There is no evidence to support the claims. Dad-of-two Kerry was set to seal the nomination to take on George Bush in the November election when the allegations surfaced.
Alex, who is in Africa with her fiancé Yaron Schwartzman, refused to comment.
