Related: About this forumWhen a spurned Kathleen Willey fabricated a "pregnancy" story to punish her ex-boyfriend
http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/accuser-faked-pregnancy-mag-article-1.795767"WASHINGTON Clinton accuser Kathleen Willey made up a fake pregnancy in 1995 to get even with a boyfriend, raising new questions about her credibility, according to a published report. Meanwhile, Willey said the White House damage control team is "trying to make me look like a wacko" by releasing letters she sent to President Clinton after he allegedly groped and fondled her. Willey sent shock waves through the White House last week with a riveting "60 Minutes" interview claiming that Clinton made a play for her during a 1993 Oval Office meeting, but Time magazine painted a picture of her as a brazen liar. In an FBI interview, one-time pal Julie Steele claims that Willey made up a story that she was pregnant with twins to get even with her boyfriend, British soccer coach Shaun Docking, for bailing out on a July 4th date. According to Time, Willey, 51, told Docking who was 18 years her junior that she planned to have an abortion, then backed out on the morning of the "procedure.
" Willey then had Steele call Docking and tell him that she had had a miscarriage, Time reported. Unnamed sources told Time that Willey never informed Docking the pregnancy was a hoax. A man who answered Willey's home phone said she had no comment about the allegation, which is the latest to question her credibility. Since her interview, a book publisher claimed she was trying to make $300,000 from her story of the Nov. 29, 1993, Oval Office meeting with Clinton, in which she claims he fondled her breasts and put her hand on his genitals. After the alleged encounter, Willey sent several notes to the President, including one that said she was his "No. 1 fan."......(more at link. Btw, the man in the story whom she victimized with the phony pregnancy/abortion/miscarriage tale was the soccer coach of her young son)

OP
The Clinton campaign and supporters should not get suckered into attacking these women.

2nd hand info from trusted sources in the Richmond area.
This isn't fair, let me start there, but the reality of litigating claims such as hers is that the accuser gets tried also. No one wanted her to be cross examined. That's the simplest nicest way I can put it.
