"Sex Poodle" Case Gets Curbed - July 30, 2010
In a July 22 interview with cops, Gore--who was accompanied by two lawyers--was asked about masseuse Molly Hagerty's claim that he forced her to touch an "intimate area of his body." According to investigators, "Gore's face became flushed and he stammered slightly as he responded, 'Absolutely not!'"[From page 4 of 5]
The Portland Police Bureau's report of their interview with Gore (a copy of which you'll find below) was included in 180 pages of investigative documents released today after prosecutors announced that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Gore for the purported sex assault.

When asked by Portland cops if he had any reason to believe Hagerty was "uncomfortable or fearful," Gore said he "had to contain his anger" when he learned of this claim since he recalled her having a "particularly pleasant demeanor and not appearing upset in any way." Gore added that he was "completely baffled" by Hagerty's claim that she fled the room visibly distressed and shaken.
At one point during his police interview, Gore said that Hagerty's allegations--first aired in the National Enquirer--angered him because of the resulting "pain it caused him and his family." Cops noted that Gore "told us how he struggled to control the emotion raised by the reports and it became apparent he was struggling with this as we spoke."
