Oregon masseuse claims Al Gore groped her in hotel room

From a report in The Oregonian:

A Portland massage therapist gave local police a detailed statement last year alleging that former Vice President Al Gore (pictured) groped her, kissed her and made unwanted sexual advances during a late-night massage session in October 2006 in a suite at the upscale Hotel Lucia.

The woman told investigators that she informed two friends and kept the clothes she wore that night, including her black pants with stains on them. But Portland police didn't contact any of the woman's friends, obtain the potential evidence or interview anyone at the hotel, records show.

Al Gore, who was registered under the name "Mr. Stone," asked the masseuse to call him “Al.”
