Al Gore's sex crimes: An inconvenient truth?

Authorities are investigating charges from two additional masseuses that former Vice President Al Gore sexually molested them, according to the New York Daily News. 

The latest round of accusations comes after a female massage therapist claimed Gore wanted a below-the-belt rubdown or a "happy ending," at downtown Portland hotel.

The first incident, which allegedly occurred in October 2006, was reported that year and again in 2009 and is currently being investigated by detectives from the Portland Police Department.

A Gore family spokesperson had previously denied the allegations.

"Further investigation into this matter will only benefit Mr. Gore," Kalee Kreider said. "The Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading and inaccurate story generated by tabloids. Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He stands by that denial."

According to the Daily News, the 62-year old 2000 Presidential candidate wanted more than a spa day at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills while waiting to be honored with an Oscar for his documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth."

The other incident allegedly took place in 2008 at a Tokyo hotel. A hotel source reportedly told The Enquirer that when the duo was alone "Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her."

According to the report, Gore then pointed to his private parts and said "Take care of this."

In a more serious allegation, Al Gore is accused of attempting to rape a masseuse at the Hotel Lucia in Portland, Oregon. The Nobel Peace Prize winner "unequivocally' denied the allegations by the woman. 
 
"The Portland Police Department did not indicate why it was reopening the investigation. The sexual assault allegedly occurred in 2006, according to the masseuse. However, the masseuse didn't press charges at the time, although she did talk to the police several weeks after the incident occurred, according to Fox News Channel. 

Earlier this month, the National Enquirer broke the first Gore story and claims that police records revealed that woman said Gore allegedly "caressed her back, buttocks, and breasts, and shoved her hand down to his pubic region."  The Enquirer is credited with breaking the John Edwards sex scandal involving a mistress and "love-child."
 
This Enquirer story has the complainant saying,"He threw himself on top of her...pleading for the release of his second charka -- a euphemism for sexual activity." The masseuse also claims that Gore "rubbed himself against my crotch saying "you know you want to do it."

The masseuse claims that she kept the pants she was wearing the night of the alleged attack and that there is biological material on them that may contain Al Gore's DNA.  Oregon Live reports that she also saved a candy wrapper he had touched.

Oregon Live also reports that the masseuse officially made a police complaint around two months after the alleged incident happened. However, she then missed three interviews with the police and later informed them she would not go through with a criminal case.

 
While few facts are known, there are many pundits and political strategists already speculating. "This brings back memories of the Clinton White House staff who called such incidents 'bimbo eruptions.'  They also coined the term 'nuts and sluts' defense in order to destroy a complaining woman's credibility," said former NYPD detective Sid Franes.
