Portland police say the masseuse failed a polygraph and the DNA didn’t match (because there was none).
Gore’s aides made a statement:
“Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago,” spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said in a statement. “He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved.”

Any time soon now the climate alarmists will fail polygraph tests too because their stories do not match the real world evidence.
Totally off-topic.
[snip – yes it is ~mod]
I am pleased to hear it but i suspect that one or two other cases of massaging figures may prove to be a bit more difficult to clear.
One down, two to go.
No evidence of sexual contact?
My impression is that if Al did get lucky, he’d call a press conference and brag.
(Hmmm…. I wonder why Tipper left Al?)
Sad … so sad.
To have devolved from Gaia’s savior (in his own warped mind) to fodder for late night and stand-up comics. When the history of this era is written, he’ll be lucky to rate a footnote in an obscure tome that nobody will read.
He had to see a masseuse because of the strain reaching for the top of his hockey stick graphic.
Clarification: Its not that the DNA didn’t match , there was no DNA evidence present TO match.
I’m no Al Gore fan, but you might want to clarify this. Sounds like a complete gold-digging wentch to me…
Meh. It all sounded too crazy to be true anyway.
Gore missed one bullet. But 2 more to go. And a divorce that now makes sense. But I am not sure this story merits our attention.
I am not an Al Gore fan, but, this does not belong on a science blog.
This news item does not belong on this blog.
Weren’t polygraphs debunked decades ago? Do American police really still use them?
The Chinese have Al Gore’s number.
Climate scam politicians are all alike.
Kennedy, OJ and now alGore.
The fact that this case is old and the physical evidence to support taking it infront of a judge was lacking, really doesn’t prove nothing happened.
This is like demanding satellite temp readings from 100 years ago. We do not have them but that doesn’t infer anything as regard to actual temperature.
If we apply extrapollation and get only one other complaint, he has to be guilty.
alGore needed redemption in the worst way. He is absulutely honest and he is as close to knowing everything as anyone has ever been.
I support the above by alGore claiming “several million degrees” at “2 kilometers or so down”.

“I am not an Al Gore fan, but, this does not belong on a science blog.”
Read the banner text at the top of this page – this site covers more than science. It covers news as well, and the Gore is in the news. Again.
“…but, this does not belong on a science blog.”
And neither should Al Gore have ever been an “expert” on climate science. But the fact that the media has made Gore a climate expert, and his position in the movement that has discredited real science to a huge degree, probably makes this newsworthy in a sense. Although it wouldn’t disappoint me if this man’s name was never mentioned again.
I’m sorry this kind of petty gossip is appearing in this otherwise worthwhile blog.
This does belong on a science blog. This vanguard of science also shows us that science has been hijacked by politicans and a political agenda.
Now we find his “investigation” was also a well controlled and protected incident.
The accuser was attacked and put thru a wringer. This is exactly why women have to think long and hard about reporting rape.
This is like telling a crook when you are coming by his house to see if he has drugs,
Now my observation of sexism. Why did the accuser take a polygraph? She hasn’t been shown to be a criminal. Algore is the one that would go under lie detector. He is the perp pervert.
Since this story is taking place on a planet and we claim this planet is toast, this reminds me of how women accusing males of rape get treated in Muslim countries. The men do not face trouble.
Now applying the approaches we use in following scientific methods on this blog, should this just be up for a vote like warming tipping point catastrophes are voted on?
All the warmistas have to vote saying alGore is innocent. Who needs facts or material evidence?
Poor little old me. I am among one of 5 professions I am trained in, experienced in psychoanalysis and deal from time to time with people that have problems and when we find repressed sexual abuse from childhood, can find a journey to healing and recovery. I am not a fan of Psychonanalysis but have applied it. It shocks me how many people that exist that have been violated, molested raped etc in their past.
Undeniable Proof Al Gore is a Moron
This belongs in a science blog because Gore is attempting to promote a false science that would result in billions and maybe even trillions of dollars being spent at the cost of ordinary citizens and the enactment of laws and regulations and agencies to enforce recognition of his claim. The result if he succeeds would be a complete change in the life, freedom and security of the American people. The question here is integrity important to science and if someone lacks it should they be exposed?
If you crop his mugshot to just below the eyes, he does remind one of “all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy” of the “The Shining” – Sorry Jack.
This was not rape rape.

More important people are protected from accusations and less important people are destroyed.

John Edwards even paid an aid to claim to be the father of his baby.
alGore has a monster incentive to not need to register as a sex offender in his long list of locations where he has a cabin, hut or pitches a tent. It would be rather “inconvenient”.
A more dangerous person to science and, indeed, the American way of life, has not existed in the USA in my long memory. But, we should not waste too much time on algore. If he continues to grow in girth he will soon colapse into a singularity and no longer be with us.
I’m disapointed this story was posted on this site. Leave this stuff to the Enquirer. It’s not relevant. Nor would it be relevant if a renowned skeptic was caught up in some unfortunate sex scandal.
