In June of 2014, the Washington Free Beacon came upon an audiotape of then first lady of Arkansas Hillary Clinton from the 1980's discussing with journalist Roy Reed a legal case she had been involved with in 1975. She had been the defense attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, who at age 41 had been accused of raping a 12 year-old girl in May of that year. On the audio, Hillary, in an affected southern drawl, could be heard laughing at several inappropriate times. "He took a lie detector test," she said. "I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which...

“If you only listen to one hour of my radio show for the rest of your life, make it the final hour of today’s program,” Sean said on Wednesday. “I want you to hear the story of Kathy Shelton." In 1975, a then 12-year-old Shelton was allegedly lured into a car and violently beaten and raped by a 41-year-old factory worker, Thomas Alfred Taylor. Her injuries were so severe that Shelton spent five days in a coma, and, when she awoke, doctors told her there was a 99 percent she would be unable to have children due to the severity...

While the cases of three women connected to Bill Clinton have been well-litigated in the media, the Kathy Shelton case has attracted much less attention. Until a Newsday reporter informed her in 2008 that Clinton was the lawyer in the case, Shelton had no idea that Hillary Clinton had been involved. In 1975, Clinton — then Hillary Rodham — was a 27-year-old law instructor running a legal aid clinic at the University of Arkansas ...She has said she was not thrilled with the assignment but felt she had little choice but to take the court appointment As part of her...

When Donald Trump invited several women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to Sunday night’s 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 -- Shelton’s 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...

I am about to lose my mind here tonight from about the innacqurate references to Kathy Shelton as being one of 4 women who was abused by Bill. She was NEVER abused by Bill. All of Kathy's abuse with regards to the Clintons came solely from Hillary. This is NOT nit picky stuff either. This woman was raped at 12 and was in a coma for 5 days and Hillary defended her attacker even though she admittedly knew he was guilty. But it gets worse from there. She besmirched a 12 year old rape victim, suppressed evidence and then years...

Clinton tells of defense of child rapist in newly unearthed recordings The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton’s suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge. The recording and transcript, along with court documents pertaining to the case, are embedded below.

Raped at age 12, a woman now is lashing out at Hillary Clinton for defending her attacker, who got off with a penalty of only a short jail term thanks to the machinations of the young lawyer in Arkansas in 1975. The victim, Kathy Shelton, now is saying she wants to speak out so that people know the truth about the Democrat candidate for president this year. Shelton’s comments about the assault she endured at the hands of a 41-year-old attacker when she was 12, in 1975, and the subsequent ordeal she was forced through because of the attacker’s lawyer,...

Kathy Shelton was twelve years old when she was raped by a drifter in 1975. Thomas Alfred Taylor, her attacker, served less than a year in prison thanks to his defense attorney, Hillary Clinton. Watching Hillary paint herself as a candidate that advocates on behalf of women and children was too much for Shelton who broke her decades-long silence.... ‘It’s put a lot of anger back in me,’ said Shelton, now 54, in an exclusive interview at her Springdale, Arkansas, home in August. ‘Every time I see [Clinton] on TV I just want to reach in there and grab her,...
