Portland massage therapist who accused Al Gore of groping confided in friend shortly after the 2006

<snip>

A close friend of a Portland massage therapist who accused former Vice President Al Gore of groping her says the therapist told her soon after the 2006 encounter that she'd been violated and assaulted by "someone in the higher ups."

Donna Burleigh of Keizer said her best friend didn't identify the person, but when Gore returned to Portland years later, her friend "freaked out."

"She freaked and split. She said her predator was back and coming to town. She up and left," Burleigh said.

Burleigh said she knew her friend had obtained a lawyer and thought she was trying to pursue a civil case, so she was surprised to see the National Enquirer splash the allegations on its website this week.

6. "her predator?"
I don't know anything about Al Gores personal life, but I'm guessing that he doesn't spend his spare time stalking someone.

"She freaked and split. She said her predator was back and coming to town. She up and left," Burleigh said.

"Freaked and split?... Up and left" Really?
