Juanita Broaddrick is a former nursing home administrator from Arkansas. She alleged in 1999 that United States President Bill Clinton had raped her two decades earlier. President Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, denied the allegations on his client's behalf. Clinton refused to comment further on the issue. ==Allegations against Bill Clinton== Rumors circulated about Broaddrick's allegations for many years, but she refused to speak to the media and filed an affidavit with Paula Jones' lawyers stating that the rumors were unfounded.〔The ''Washington Post'' (23, 1998 reported that Broaddrick was "Jane Doe #5" in the Paula Jones trial ) on February 25, 1999. Her affidavit as Jane Doe #5 (was posted by the ''Washington Post'' ) on December 23, 1998.〕 (See Road to public disclosure.) In an interview with ''Dateline NBC,'' that aired on February 24, 1999, Broaddrick claimed she had indeed been raped by Clinton.''〔''Dateline NBC'': February 24, 1999. ''The Washington Post'' (published a story about the interview ) on February 25, 1999.〕 Broaddrick first met Clinton when he made a visit to her nursing home during his 1978 gubernatorial campaign. Broaddrick wanted to volunteer for the campaign, and says Clinton invited her to stop by the campaign office in Little Rock.〔''New York Times'': (On Tortuous Route, Sexual Assault Accusation Against Clinton Resurfaces ). February 24, 1999.〕 She contacted the office a few weeks later while in the area for a nursing home conference. Clinton said he would not be in the campaign office that day and suggested they meet at her hotel’s coffee shop instead. Upon his arrival, however, he allegedly requested that they instead have coffee in her room to avoid a crowd of reporters in the lobby. Broaddrick agreed.〔 Broaddrick says the two spoke briefly in her room, with Clinton describing plans to renovate a prison visible from her window if he became governor. Then, according to Broaddrick, Clinton suddenly kissed her.〔 Broaddrick says she pushed Clinton away and told him she was married and not interested, but he persisted. As recounted in the NBC interview:〔 When asked if there was any way Clinton could have thought it was consensual, Broaddrick said “No, not with what I told him and with how I tried to push him away. It was not consensual.”〔 Broaddrick shared the hotel room with her friend and employee Norma Rodgers. Rodgers attended a conference seminar that morning, and says she returned to their room to find Broaddrick on the bed “in a state of shock,” her pantyhose torn in the crotch and her lip swollen as though she had been hit.〔 Rogers says Broaddrick told her Clinton had "forced himself on her."〔 Rogers helped Broaddrick ice her lip, and then the women left Little Rock. Rogers said that Broaddrick was very upset on the way home and blamed herself for letting Clinton in the room.〔 Broaddrick says she did not tell her then-husband, Gary Hickey, about the incident, and told him she accidentally injured her lip. He told NBC he did not remember the injury or her excuse.〔〔("Is Juanita Broaddrick Telling the Truth?" ). ''Slate''. March 3, 1999.〕 She was having an affair with her eventual second husband, David Broaddrick, at the time. He says he noticed her injured lip, and she told him that Clinton had raped her when he asked about it.〔 Three other friends confirmed that Broaddrick had told them about the incident at the time: Susan Lewis, Louis Ma, and Jean Darden, Norma Rogers’ sister.〔 Broaddrick did not recall the date of the alleged incident, but said it was spring of 1978 and that she had stayed in the Camelot Hotel. Records show Broaddrick attended a nursing home meeting at the Camelot Hotel in Little Rock on April 25, 1978.〔〔 The Clinton White House would not respond to requests for Clinton's official schedule for the date,〔 but news reports suggest that he was in Little Rock that day, with no official commitments in the morning.〔 Three weeks after the alleged assault, Broaddrick participated in a small Clinton fundraiser at the home of a local dentist.〔 Broaddrick said she was “in denial,” and felt guilty, thinking that she had given Clinton the wrong idea by letting him into her room.〔 When she arrived at the event, she says, her friend who had picked the Clintons up from the airport told her that Hilary Clinton had asked if she would be at the event.〔''FOX News'': (Interview with Sean Hannity ). June 10, 2003.〕 Broaddrick says Mr. Clinton did not speak to her at the event, but Mrs. Clinton approached her, took her hand, and said 'I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate what you do for him.”〔 When Broaddrick moved her hand away, she says, Mrs. Clinton held on to her and said "Do you understand? Everything that you do."〔 Broaddrick says she felt nauseous and left the gathering. Broaddrick says she interpreted the incident as Mrs. Clinton thanking her for keeping quiet.〔 In 1984, Broaddrick's nursing facility was adjudged the best in the state, which brought a congratulatory official letter from the governor. On the bottom was a handwritten note from Clinton, saying, "I admire you very much."〔''Wall Street Journal'': (Juanita Broaddrick Meets the Press ). February 19, 1999.〕 Broaddrick said that in 1991, Clinton called her out of a state nursing standards meeting to try to apologize. In response to his apologies, as she told ''The Washington Post'', "I told him to go to hell, and I walked off".〔Kurtz, Howard (February 25, 1999). ("Clinton Accuser's Story Aired" ). ''Washington Post''. p. A15.〕 Darden also attended the meeting, and said she saw Broaddrick talking to Clinton in the hallway.〔 Clinton announced his 1992 presidential campaign soon after the alleged interaction. Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, denied the allegations on Clinton's behalf. Clinton refused to comment on the issue.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juanita Broaddrick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
