"It's none of my business, but at least pay the girl what you agreed to. By the way Libs, how's that 'War on Women' working for ya" MC
Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year.
In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at
Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican Republic.
They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the
end they each received only $100.
The women spoke through a translator in the company of their
attorney, Melanio Figueroa. Both asked that their identities remain
obscured for fear of reprisals in the Dominican Republic.
When shown a photograph of Sen. Menendez, the women said they
recognized him as the man with whom they’d had sexual relations at Casa
de Campo this spring. Both said they were brought to the resort with the
understanding they would be paid for sex.
Neither knew the identity of the man at the time. Both claimed to recognize him later as Sen. Menendez.
“He called him[self] ‘Bob,’” said one.
One woman said Menendez wooed her with compliments like “beautiful”
before they slept together. The other woman recounted, with apparent
bitterness, receiving from an intermediary only $100 of the $500 she had
been promised.
“He lies,” she said of Menendez. “He says one thing and does another.”
According to the translator’s summary, Menendez “was nice at first, but then later he did not seem to care about her.”
Menendez, who is 58 and divorced, has represented New Jersey in the
U.S. Senate as a Democrat since being appointed to fill a vacancy in
2005. He is up for re-election on Nov. 6.
Asked about the allegations, Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright
refused to answer any questions on the subject. “We’re not going to
respond to a completely false accusation,” she wrote by email.
It is known that Sen. Menendez has been a regular visitor to the
Dominican Republic. On at least one occasion, according to a news
account, Menendez has been a guest at the Casa de Campo home of a friend
and campaign donor named Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist and owner
of an eye clinic in Florida.
Melgen has donated $14,700 to Menendez’s campaigns since 1993, with
the bulk of it coming since he became a U.S. Senator, according to
Federal Election Commission data collected by the Center for Responsive
Politics.
Melgen also appears to have lent Menendez the use of his plane on several occasions.
Menendez’s 2012 public schedule shows no events listed for Easter or
the following three days. On Easter Sunday this year, aircraft records
obtained by TheDC show that Melgen’s plane left Florida the morning of
Easter Sunday, stopped at the Teterboro private airport near Menendez’s
home in New Jersey, and flew on to the Dominican Republic.
Two days later it returned to the United States, from a private airport near Casa de Campo.
