Of course women have charged Boobengrabber with assault. I don't think anyone has charged him with rape but someone did come forward about his inappropriate fingers. Oh yeah, Gropenfuhrer DOES NOT deny molesting women, he just thinks that it's ok to do on fun film sets. Remember, the election was an extremely short 6 weeks which didn't give very much time for anything. sfgate.com "Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, dogged by new charges of sexual misconduct, apologized Thursday for having "behaved badly sometimes" in his treatment of women. The apology came after a Los Angeles Times story Thursday quoted six women who said they had been fondled by the actor-turned-candidate in separate incidents dating to 1975. The most recent of the alleged episodes occurred in 2000. Although the campaign initially denied the accounts as "false and baseless, " the story changed before Schwarzenegger was slated to open a four-day, barnstorming bus trip across the state, a high-profile campaign event overshadowed by the charges. "Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right, which I thought then was playful but now I recognize that I have offended people," Schwarzenegger told 1,500 cheering supporters at the San Diego Convention Center.

Within hours Ms Miller was branded a criminal on news programmes. Only days after the election, with Schwarzenegger victorious, did it emerge that Ms Miller had no criminal record. The information alluded to by the Schwarzenegger campaign team, and carried on a law enforcement website, was about a different woman. Gloria Allred, a California attorney who appeared alongside Ms Miller when she made her groping claims, was due to hold a press conference yesterday to announce a libel lawsuitagainst Schwarzenegger and his campaign committee. She said in a statement: "On 6 October, 2003, Ms Miller held a news conference with Ms Allred in which Ms Miller alleged that she had been sexually harassed by Mr Schwarzenegger when she worked as a stunt woman in a movie with him. "Shortly after the news conference that day the Schwarzenegger campaign sent an e-mail to reporters which appeared to suggest that Ms Miller was a convicted felon. "The truth was, however, that the Rhonda Miller, who held the news conference with Ms Allred, had never been arrested for anything in her life. The false information about Ms Allred’s client was broadcast on national television." No comment was immediately available from Schwarzenegger but it comes at a difficult time for the former film star...."
