On a Saturday afternoon in January of 2006, a young woman walked into a Papa Johns pizza restaurant at the end of a Boca Raton strip mall and asked for help. The woman, who worked at a tanning salon a few doors down, was in tears. A man had just tried to attack and rape her at the salon, she told an employee of the pizza joint.
That man was later identified as Vince McMahon, chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment. The Boca Raton police believed they had enough evidence to file an arrest warrant against McMahon for misdemeanor simple battery after the tanning salon employee accused him of groping her and trying to kiss her, according to a police report reviewed by The Daily Beast.
The allegation against McMahon was covered at the time by local media and in an Associated Press report. Some of the details about the alleged crime were included in the reports, but press attention dissipated after McMahon was not criminally charged, with prosecutors citing a lack of independent evidence to charge him.
McMahon, who was married to wife Linda, now the chief of the Small Business Administration for President Donald Trump, strongly denied the allegation at the time. He did not respond to requests for comment for this article.

If someone has economic value in FL, they will get the feather treatment from law enforcement.

(56,828 posts)7. Since Vince McMahon is husband the Trump's SBA Head Linda McMahon
should we now blame Linda for her husband's attempted rape?
I mean, Hillary Clinton was blamed for Bill's infidelity and that was only a blowjob.
