Back in 2006, a Boca Raton tanning salon employee ran to a nearby pizza shop in tears. She said a customer had grabbed her, kissed her, and tried to rape her. Despite plenty of evidence for probable cause, the prosecutor decided not to follow up. I mean there are verified stories of on-duty police officers repeatedly groping gas-station employees on camera and only getting probation, so I shouldn't be surprised.
Everything about this predictable story makes me sick. "He said, she said" is a thing because men run law enforcement. Are there not security cameras in tanning salons? This article discusses behavior that could certainly be independently verified if investigated, including that McMahon allegedly showed this employee nude pictures of himself on his phone. But this happened in Florida, the same state currently housing Jair Bolsonaro, where Jeff Epstein got his super sweet deal from Trump's other buddy Alex Acosta, two years after this incident. The Daily Beast "McMahon, who was married to wife Linda, now the chief of the Small Business Administration for President Donald Trump, strongly denied the allegation at the time. He did not respond to requests for comment for this article."... "A handful of 2006 press reports remain online (Woman, 22, Says McMahon Tried Too Many Moves), but many others have disappeared or can only be found on forums where they appear to have been pasted without permission." Here's what really pisses me off, the way this young woman at her minimum wage job was expected to deal with an alleged geriatric groper who was close friends with the POTUS. "Clear [the manager] said the woman started to cry on the phone as she told her that an “older gentlemen followed me into a room and tried to kiss me.” The attendant asked Clear if she should call the police, but Clear urged her not to and told her she was coming to the salon. When she arrived, she saw a man sitting in a black Hummer in the parking lot and a Papa John’s employee in the salon, she told police. McMahon’s accuser then showed Clear how she used her hands to push him off of her and said this happens to her “all the time,” according to the documents." [Emphasis added] I can't imagine managing some shitty tanning salon, having some young girl call me in tears like that, and telling her not to call the police because I'm on my way over there to make it all go away. But that's why I'm socially marginalized. God bless the woman Kobe Bryant admitted raping.
