1982:
Elizabeth Ward Gracen, 37 a former Miss America, told the
New York Daily News on March 31 1998 that she had had consensual sex with
Mr Clinton in 1982. Her statement followed allegations that the President,
then Governor of Arkansas, had forced her to have sex with him.
-
1983: Sally Perdue,
a former Miss Arkansas, who has alleged that she had a sexual relationship
with Mr Clinton in 1983. She said that the Arkansas state troopers used
to escort him to her house and then wait outside while the two were meeting. |
-
1991:
Paula Jones is a former Arkansas state clerk who alleged
that when Mr Clinton was governor of Arkansas in 1991, she was summoned
to his room at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock, by a state trooper.
Miss Jones has said he then dropped then his trousers
and, alluding to his |
|
genitals, asked her to "kiss it." She claims that she refused his offer
and was then told to keep quiet about the incident. She said that she was
later demoted at work as a result. Mrs Jones filed a formal complaint against
President Clinton in May 1994 alleging sexual harassment and defamation
of character but in April 1998, the case was thrown out.
Federal Judge Susan Webber Wright dismissed Paula Jones's
case against the president, saying that her lawyers had failed to provide
enough evidence to prove it could win at trial. |

1992:
Gennifer Flowers is a former nightclub singer who became
the focus of attention during Mr Clinton's 1992 election campaign. She
alleged at the time that the she had an affair with Bill Clinton for 12
years while he was governor of Arkansas. |
| She sold tapes of their telephone conversations and said
that he offered her a job in local government in exchange for sexual favours.
These accusations prompted Mr and Mrs Clinton to admit on national television
that they had experienced problems in their marriage. |
-
| 1994: Dolly Kyle
Browning, an old friend of Mr Clinton's from Arkansas has
also said she had an affair with him. Although she did not state when the
affair might have taken place, she claims he tried to start up another
relationship with her in 1994. |

| 1997:
Monica Lewinsky was 23-years-old at the time and a White
House aide. She is also the youngest of the President's women to
emerge. Paula Jones's lawyers discovered her after they spoke to a number
of his female aides, in the hope of establishing a pattern of sexual behaviour. |
|
Ms Lewinsky was an unpaid intern when it is alleged that
the President first took an interest in her. It is claimed the two had
an affair which lasted a year and that they had sex in the White House.
When Ms Lewinsky first arrived in Washington she worked in the office of
the Chief of Staff and later ended up in 1997 as secretary to the Defense
Department Spokesman, Kenneth Bacon.
After leaving the White House she worked at the Pentagon.
It is reported that she got her latest job at the Revlon Corporation after
being recommended to the company by Vernon Jordan, a close friend of Mr
Clinton's. Until recently, she lived at the Watergate apartment building
in Washington - the same building where a break-in more than 20 years ago
led to the downfall of President Nixon. |

Hillary
Clinton: Mr Clinton's wife has always been fiercely loyal.
When allegations arose about Mr Clinton and Gennifer Flowers in 1992 the
couple went on TV to talk about it. This frankness was seen as laudable
honesty at the time. |
In public she has criticised many of the allegations against
her husband as politically motivated slurs. However, behind closed doors
the two are reported to have had blazing rows. Mrs Clinton is a high powered
lawyer who married Mr Clinton in 1977. She is now a successful New York
politician. They have a daughter, Chelsea, who is studying medicine at
Stanford University in California.
Somehow, in spite of the many sexual charges against her
husband, their relationship continues even though many of their critics
thought that they would be divorced by now.
The bottom line is that their relationship is still ongoing
and the challenges of his presidency have not yet resulted in their concluding
their almost thirty-year-long marriage.
Again, the tenacity of the human spirit, especially
in regard to primary relationships, excerts itself in spite of those circumstnces
that would otherwise destroy it. Two people have found something
together that fits each so well that even the alleged moral failure of
the one is not enough to disuade the other.
It's the stuff of love, life, and lovers. |

The mission of this not-for-profit website is to promote clear insights
and toleration regarding the many variations of primary relationships that
exist in our world. We ask for neither acceptance or approval but
hope that each visitor who reviews the pages of this site will leave them
with a better understanding of the numerous cultural, historical, preferential,
religious, sexual, and sociological approaches to coupling that have always
existed and will continue to exist as long as there are at least two human
beings living on this planet. If the effort put into creating and
maintaining this site results in others coming to the realization that
the basic human need to love and be loved takes on many forms which are
accepted by those who practice them, whether right or wrong as determined
by the personal belief system of others, then it will have served it's
purpose well. |
