''Clinton accused of rape while at Oxford'' London Evening Standard 3/1/99 Richard Holliday Clinton accused of rape while at Oxford by Richard Holliday President Bill Clinton is facing a fresh sex scandal today over claims that he raped a 19-year-old girl while he was a student at Oxford in the Sixties. The allegation - together with claims that he sexually assaulted another student while at Yale - appear on a Washington website, Capitol Hill Blue. It is claimed the future president met the 19 year old in an Oxford pub when he was a Rhodes Scholar in 1969.A retired State Department official is quoted by the website confirming that the rape took place and saying: "There is no doubt in my mind that this woman suffered severe emotional trauma. "But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report to my superiors and that was the last I heard of it." He added that he was under the impression that while at Oxford "Clinton was more interested in drinking, drugs and sex than studies." Capitol Hill Blue says the alleged victim - who is now married and lives near London - hired a lawyer and changed her phone number after saying she would not go public with further details. Before moving to the London area she is believed to have lived in Europe for a number of years, most recently in Germany. Women students who were at Oxford at the same time as Clinton have accused him of "boorish behaviour", claiming he would press himself up against them and frequently suggest they should be honoured to have sex with him. The Yale University allegations centre on an incident in 1972 - where Clinton had returned from Oxford to study. A 22-year-old woman student complained to campus police she had been sexually assaulted by him.The web-site claims police confirmed the report. Like the woman in England, the Yale victim was tracked down, but she too refused to give her married name or to discuss the allegations. The Capitol Hill Blue allegations come as Monica Lewinsky prepares to launch her book about her relationship with the President - written by British journalist Andrew Morton - with a series of television interviews. She arrives in the UK this week. Public opinion appeared to be turning against the President when he and Hillary Clinton took a break in Utah over the weekend to celebrate their daughter Chelsea's 19th birthday on the ski slopes. There women protesters carried placards reading "Rapist resign." © Associated Newspapers Ltd., 01 March 1999 Terms and Conditions This Is London freerepublic.com
