Al Gore is in more trouble.
The National Enquirer reports in a bombshell story that police have investigated charges from two more female massage therapists who claimed they were abused by Gore.
The allegations come on the heels of an ongoing Portland, Ore., police investigation that reopened after the supermarket tabloid recently revealed accusations by a licensed massage therapist who says Gore groped her four years ago.
The first new incident allegedly took place at a Beverly Hills luxury hotel when Gore, 62, was in Hollywood to attend the Oscars in 2007. The second allegedly occurred a year later at a Tokyo hotel.
“The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her,” a source said, recounting the Beverly Hills incident. “He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, ‘Take care of this.'”
The probe threatens to engulf Gore deeper into a sex scandal once thought unthinkable for the Nobel prize winner who built up an image as a doting husband and family man who fell in love with his wife at the high school prom and lived happily ever after.
Gore and his wife, Tipper, announced in June that they were breaking up, saying that they had grown apart after 40 years of marriage. Associates and family friends said there was no affair involved.
Not long after the split became public, authorities in Oregon announced that they had investigated Gore on sexual assault charges over the encounter with massage therapist Molly Hagerty in October 2006.
Police decided in 2006 not to pursue a case after her lawyer told them she would file a civil complaint. She came back to cops in early 2009 and asked that they bring the case again, providing them a statement that spelled out in precise detail how Gore allegedly assaulted her.
She showed up at Gore’s ninth-floor executive suite late on the night of Oct. 24 while he was in town for a speech on global warming. “Call me Al,” she quoted Gore as saying as he gave her a big hug.
She said he was finishing up a beer when she entered the room, and told investigators it wasn’t long before an innocent massage turned into a series of unwanted sexual advances.
Hagerty said he dimmed the lights and asked her to massage the inside muscles of his thigh. She refused and he allegedly put her hands on his genital area. Hagerty said Gore became angry when she pushed back.
Once the massage was complete and she began packing up her table, massage butters and other materials, Hagerty said Gore began to grope her.
“I squirmed to try and get out of his grasp, telling him to stop, don’t, several times, and I finally told him and said, ‘You’re being a crazed sex poodle,'” she told investigators.
She said she distracted Gore, and he stopped. Later, he tried to ply her with cognac and fondle her again, Hagerty alleges.
