<\/a><\/p>\nJuanita Broaddrick has told this reporter that she was raped not once but twice by Bill Clinton during the same infamous encounter in 1978.<\/strong><\/h2>\nBroaddrick has rarely discussed the actual details of the alleged incident due to the graphic and traumatic nature of the event.<\/p>\n
In August 2000, Connecticut Rep. Chris Shays told <\/a>a local talk show that based on evidence to which he was privy from the Clinton impeachment trial, he found that Broaddrick had \u201cdisclosed that she had been raped, not once, but twice\u201d to Senate Judiciary Committee investigators.<\/p>\n\u201cI believed that he had done it,\u201d Shays continued. \u201cI believed her that she had been raped 20 years ago. And it was vicious rapes, it was twice at the same event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now Broaddrick has for the first time publically confirmed her account that Clinton raped her twice.<\/p>\n
She said that after the first round, in which the much stronger Clinton had her pinned down for a period of time, she was relieved when she thought it was over and was hoping he would leave the room.<\/p>\n
Instead, she says Clinton turned to her and told her words to the effect of \u201cI am going to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
And then he did, she says.<\/p>\n
Out of sensitivity to the nature of the alleged event and its impact on her, this reporter did not ask Broaddrick to further describe the scene during our latest interview.<\/p>\n
However, in an interview that broke nearly a decade of media silence, in November 2015 Broaddrick\u00a0recounted<\/a> some of the details to me.<\/p>\nBroaddrick\u2019s story begins when she was a nursing home administrator volunteering for then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton\u2019s 1978 gubernatorial bid.<\/p>\n
She said Clinton singled her out during a campaign stop at her nursing home. \u201cHe would just sort of insinuate, you know when you are in Little Rock let\u2019s get together. Let\u2019s talk about the industry. Let\u2019s talk about the needs of the nursing homes and I was very excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Broaddrick said she finally took Clinton up on that offer in the spring of 1978 when she traveled to Little Rock for an industry convention along with her friend and nursing employee Norma Rogers. The two shared a room at the city\u2019s Camelot Hotel.<\/p>\n
Broaddrick phoned Clinton\u2019s campaign headquarters to inform her of her arrival and was told by a receptionist that Clinton had left instructions for her to reach him at his private apartment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI called his apartment and he answered,\u201d she told me. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Well, why don\u2019t we meet in the Camelot Hotel coffee room and we can get together there and talk. And I said, \u2018That would be fine.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinton then changed the meeting location from the hotel coffee shop to Broaddrick\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
\u201cA time later and I\u2019m not sure how long it was, he called my room, which he said he would do when he got to the coffee shop. And he said \u2018There are too many people down here. It\u2019s too crowded. There\u2019s reporters and can we just meet in your room?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it sort of took me back a little bit, Aaron,\u201d she said of Clinton\u2019s request.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I did say okay, I\u2019ll order coffee to the room, which I did and that\u2019s when things sort of got out of hand. And it was very unexpected. It was, you might even say, brutal. With the biting of my lip.\u201d<\/p>\n
Broaddrick said she did not want to rehash the alleged rape scene, explaining those painful details are fully available in previous news reports.<\/p>\n
She told NBC\u2019s Dateline<\/a> in 1999 that she resisted when Clinton suddenly kissed her:<\/p>\nThen he tries to kiss me again. And the second time he tries to kiss me he starts biting my lip. \u2026 He starts to, um, bite on my top lip and I tried to pull away from him. And then he forces me down on the bed. And I just was very frightened, and I tried to get away from him and I told him \u201cNo,\u201d that I didn\u2019t want this to happen but he wouldn\u2019t listen to me. \u2026 It was a real panicky, panicky situation. I was even to the point where I was getting very noisy, you know, yelling to \u201cPlease stop.\u201d And that\u2019s when he pressed down on my right shoulder and he would bite my lip. \u2026 When everything was over with, he got up and straightened himself, and I was crying at the moment and he walks to the door, and calmly puts on his sunglasses. And before he goes out the door he says, \u201cYou better get some ice on that.\u201d And he turned and went out the door.<\/p>\n
In our November interview, Broaddrick recounted the aftermath of the incident, when her friend Rogers came back to the room after Broaddrick failed to show up to the convention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in a state of shock afterwards,\u201d an emotional Broaddrick said, clearly still impacted by the event. \u201cAnd I know my nurse came back to the room to check on me because she hadn\u2019t heard from me. \u2026 She came up and it was devastating to her and to me to find me in the condition that I was in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really did not know what to do. We sat and talked and she got ice for my mouth. \u2026 It was four times the size that it should be. And she got ice for me and we decided then I just wanted to go home. I just wanted to get out of there, which we did.\u201d<\/p>\n
The detail about Clinton allegedly biting her lip is instructive. One woman who would later say she had a consensual affair with Clinton, former Miss America pageant winner Elizabeth Ward Gracen, would also reveal Clinton bit her lip when a tryst became rough.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believed that he had done it,\u201d Shays continued. \u201cI believed her that she had been raped 20 years ago. And it was vicious rapes, it was twice at the same event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now Broaddrick has for the first time publically confirmed her account that Clinton raped her twice.<\/p>\n
