Sexual misconduct allegations against Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Before that, he was Governor of Arkansas, and afterwards he has continued life in the public eye.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The White House )〕 Clinton has only admitted extramarital relationships with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers though charges were also made by Kathleen Willey.
==Paula Jones==
Paula Jones brought a sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton while he was president. Clinton argued that as a sitting president, he should not be vulnerable to a civil suit of this nature. The case landed in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court held that "Deferral of this litigation until petitioner's Presidency ends is not constitutionally required."
However, a U.S. judge in Arkansas, Susan Webber Wright, ruled that since Jones had not suffered any damages, the case should be dismissed. On April 2, 1998, Judge Susan Webber Wright dismissed Jones' lawsuit. On July 31, 1998, Jones appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
During the deposition for the Jones lawsuit, which was held at the White House, Clinton denied having sexual relations with Monica Lewinskya denial that became the basis for the Lewinsky scandal and the president's subsequent impeachment charge of perjury.〔"Lewinsky scandal", ''The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition'', ©2008 Columbia University Press, (【引用サイトリンク】title=As Retrieved 2010-02-09 )〕 On November 18, 1998, Clinton agreed to an out-of-court settlement, and agreed to pay Jones and her attorneys a sum of $850,000. Clinton denies ever engaging in a sexual affair with her.〔
