I believe part of the VAWA was the fact that there was a provision that the accuser could look into the sexual history of the defendant. The accuser's history was not admissible for some reason, cough, NOW $$$ cough, cough.
Without that provision the name Lewinsky would have probably never came up. I guess Jones' lawyers at the time knew about Lewinsky and it snowballed on Bubba from there.
Not sure about a State worker sexually harassing another State worker is a misdemeanor in Arkansas but it's a low level misdemeanor in several States.

Yes, the VAWA was instrumental in Paula Jones' civil suit - but I don't think it would have allowed any federal criminal charges to have been brought against Clinton.
