What to do if you had really damning evidence against Schwarzenegger?

[Scaramouche]

If someone close to you told back in 1979 that they had a sexual encounter with Arnold in Hawaii when she was most likely underage? Like she was 17 and he was 32?

Would you bring it up even if she hasn't?

[Terwilliger]

1. I wouldn't

that's my opinion

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. No. You will ruin her life

That would be the most irresponsible thing to do. YOu cannot be sure she won't get death threats or the like. If you can encourage her to come forth and if she is credible then I suppose it would be fine although I DOUBT it will make a difference...hell gang banging didn't.

3. STATUTORY RAPE! SCHWARTZENEGER IS GUILTY OF RAPE

if this is true.

You owe it to California and the nation to persuade this person to come forward!

We cannot allow a man of such low moral value to take over California.

7. Really?

What was the legal age of consent in Hawaii in 1979?

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. The legal age of consent in Hawaii at the time...

was either 12 or 14. Not sure which. And "statutory" rape (ie consenting sexual relations, without coercion, between someone below the age of consent and someone legally an adult) is NOT rape in the literal sense of the word, and hence probably has a statute of limitations.

[Room101]

8. I agree must_ be_ free, this exposes the kind of person he is

If she was 15 or under, I would say NO, but 17 I say yes.
People are falling for the illusion of Arnold, and it breaks my heart. In the end it is up to her.

[dfong63]

4. no - it's her life

[Paschall]

5. Aren't you always supposed to call Linda Tripp in these situations?

She's looking for work.

18. That was just perfect!

:loveya:

[Dookus]

6. nope...

it would be HER decision.

Plus, 17 IS above the age of consent in some states. I don't know about Hawaii.

[frank frankly]

9. no--it's her call

it takes legs to make a sex offense lawsuit stick. if this girl wants to take on Arnold, she needs to be in charge of it. unfortunately, i've seen a sex crimes case from cradle to grave, and only the incredible will of the defendant (and some excellent detectives) carried her through the grueling year of pre-trial and trial.

[Booberdawg]

10. Ah shit

No, don't think I would. Especially if she doesn't want to be outed like that. I think it would backfire anyway. Everybody already knows he's a pig.

11. If you are talking about Gigi Goyette,

she was sixteen at the time she first had sex with Arnold. Here is a clipping from a Britsh article on sports, which also had this little vignette of gossip

http://football.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,4284,1015989,00.html
<snip>
The only person who managed to talk more tosh last week than Little was Gigi Goyette, who outed herself as Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret mistress for the past seven years, on a hilarious programme called Arnold Schwarzenegger - Made In Britain, a fascinating look back to his beginnings in bodybuilding contests.

The programme traced the Austrian's unlikely journey from a sweaty gym in Romford Road, East London, where a dear old couple called Wag and Dianne Bennett worked on building up his calves, to success in Hollywood and some of the finest bedrooms in America, including Gigi's.

Gigi solemnly informed us that what she and Arnie have been doing is what she likes to describe as "outercourse". This, film fans and political supporters of the Terminator alike will be relieved to discover, involves in one of Gigi's many memorable phrases: "no insertion". She was very strict about this.

Anything outside of the body, though, is fair game, said Gigi. "I could be standing on my head and getting head," she said, conjuring up an image which successfully erased all those pictures of naked hiking from the visual memory bank. Gigi described herself as not so much a mistress, more Arnie's "avenue of relaxation".

She also rejected claims in an American magazine that Schwarzenegger was a sex pest. "Sure," she said, "he will sometimes grab a woman's ass and say, like, 'Hey, you've got a nice ass,' but it is just, like, his way of making them feel better. Every woman likes to get a compliment from time to time." A point I intend to take up with Germaine Greer at the first possible opportunity. <snip>

Since Ms. Goyette has apparently no problem with discussing her affair with Arnold, I think it should be brought up by the proper authorities. We don't need a person who apparently seems to have little regard for our laws when they don't suit him to be given a free pass to govern us.

[Scaramouche]

15. Not Gigi, but you gotta' wonder why this didn't get much airplay...

I have been wondering if I should call my friend after all these years (20+) and try and nudge her into getting "political."

I know she got married a few years ago after talking to her dad. But for all I know she maybe voting for the Guy...

[thebigidea]

20. bwhahaha

""Sure," she said, "he will sometimes grab a woman's ass and say, like, 'Hey, you've got a nice ass,' but it is just, like, his way of making them feel better."

yeah, sure... all these stories make it clear that Arnold has a fairly major ass-fetish.

does it end up in a closet full of german scat porn? Shades of South Park!

[Shanty Oilish]

12. I'd sit down next to Cybill Shepherd

and get some perspective.
Don't tinker with another's fate, Scaramouche!

[noiretextatique]

13. nah...you need her permission nt

[0rganism]

14. No, she should be the one to bring it up, if anyone

Best not to turn someone else's life into a living hell, when she's quite capable of doing it herself.

[Emillereid]

16. Tell all! The guy's a pig!

[JackSwift]

17. IIRC Hawaii

has a ridiculously low age of consent. 17 is probably legal there.

[Scaramouche]

21. Thank you everyone for your thoughts. on this subject...

I never really thought I'd go public with this. I agree that it is her decision. Since this hasn't come out by now I doubt it ever will.

But I think it might not be a bad idea to track her down and say hello.
