EDINBURG — Political consultant and ad producer Carey Lee Cramer is expected to testify today defending himself against charges he sexually molested two young girls. Cramer, 44, took the stand shortly before court recessed at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. He will likely continue today before Visiting Judge Homer Salinas in Auxiliary Court A, where his trial began June 7.

Cramer, who gained national notoriety with an anti-Al Gore commercial in 2000, is facing several counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. He is the second witness defense attorney Charles Banker called to rebut the testimony of the two 15-year-old girls who testified Cramer sexually molested them when they were younger.

One of the girls lived with Cramer and his ex-wife Samara Whittaker for eight years in Mercedes, McAllen and Tucson, Ariz., and claimed he began to inappropriately touch her beginning when she was 8 years old. She testified the abuse included pornography, sex toys and escalated from touching to sexual intercourse.

[Fridays Child]

5. GOP Consultant Infamous for Anti-Gore Ad is Charged with Molesting Girls,

So much depends on the headline, doesn't it?
The Buzzflash headline won't fit here at DU and of course there are the "rules".

God I love Buzzflash. The best headline writers ever.

2. He gets a trial?

He should really be very grateful, and maybe say thank you to the court for giving him a trial.

There are a lot of people at Gitmo, put there by the people he helped to elect, who are not being given the same chance that he is to defend themselves in court.

I'd say his state is being pretty damn generous in allowing him to have a trial.

9. I wonder if he was sexually assaulting little girls at the same time

As he was fulminating about Clinton's consensual affair with the grownup Ms. Lewinsky?
