PORTLAND – Police say they are re-opening an investigation into allegations by a Portland massage therapist that former Vice President Al Gore groped her at a hotel in 2006.
In a brief statement issued Wednesday, the Portland Police Bureau did not say why it was re-opening the investigation. Police had earlier said they consider the case closed because there was no evidence.
Also on Wednesday, a spokeswoman for Gore said the former vice president “unequivocally and emphatically” denies making unwanted sexual advances toward the woman.
