British judge OKs lawsuit by TV host who says Schwarzenegger groped her

LONDON (AP) - A British television host who said she was groped by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger four years ago and then libelled by his aides can take legal action in a British court, a judge ruled.

Judge David Eady on Friday rejected a claim by Schwarzenegger aide Sean Walsh that British courts have no jurisdiction in the case. Anna Richardson said Schwarzenegger, 57, fondled her breast during an interview in London in 2000 and his staff subsequently damaged her reputation as a professional interviewer by alleging she encouraged the behaviour.

The bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-governor has been accused by more than a dozen women of groping or sexually harassing them since the 1970s. When allegations emerged during Schwarzenegger's 2003 election campaign, he apologized for having "behaved badly sometimes" toward women and doing some things that "were not right, which I thought were playful."

Good. It's not one law for Schwarzenegger, one law for everyone else.
In my mind he's guilty and he's admitted as much.

That certainly blows the whole republican defense of "It was just the immaturity of his youth" defense right out of the water.
