As you may know, Republican family man Don Sherwood has been sued for assault by his former lover, Cythia Ore. But don't worry, Ore will not be the cable 'nets victim of the week, because Sherwood's a Republican:
WASHINGTON -- A woman who accused Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Pa., of trying to choke her during an encounter at his Capitol Hill apartment last fall is suing him for $5.5 million.
Cynthia Ore, 29, of Rockville, Md., alleges in the suit filed in Superior Court that during her five-year relationship with Sherwood, he brutally assaulted and struck her on several occasions.
Sherwood, 64, in a statement Thursday from his attorney, "emphatically" denied that he had ever abused Ore.
"The lawsuit is plainly intended to extract a lucrative and unjustified settlement through the threat of inflicting personal and political damage on Congressman Sherwood and his family," the statement said. "As Ms. Ore's lawyers have already been advised, these tactics will fail."
Sherwood is a four-term Republican congressman. He is a married millionaire with three daughters.
And Sherwood's ready to spend a shitload of money on a high-priced Republican mouthpiece to prove his non-culpability. Was Tom Meserau unavailable?
But this article says that Ore's lawyer's no chump, either. Bring it on, family man!
