-
- THE PARTIES
-
- 3. Plaintiff Paula Corbin Jones (hereafter "Jones") is a citizen of
- the State of California. Prior to her marriage on December 28, 1991,
- Plaintiff was known as Paula Rosalee Corbin.
-
- 4. Defendant William Jefferson Clinton (hereafter "Clinton") is a
- citizen of the State of Arkansas or alternatively of the District of
- Columbia.
-
- 5. Defendant Danny Ferguson (hereafter "Ferguson") is a citizen of
- the State of Arkansas.
-
- FACTS
-
- 6. On or about March 11, 1991, Jones began work as an Arkansas State
- employee for the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission (hereafter
- "AIDC"), an agency within the executive branch of the State of Arkansas.
- The Governor of Arkansas is the chief executive officer of the executive
- branch of the State of Arkansas.
-
- 7. On May 8, 1991, the AIDC sponsored the Third Annual Governor's Quality
- Management Conference (hereafter "Conference"), which was held at the
- Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas. Clinton, then Governor of
- Arkansas, delivered a speech at the Conference on that day.
-
- 8. Also on that day, Jones worked at the registration desk at the
- Conference along with Pamela Blackard (hereafter "Blackard") another AIDC
- employee.
-
- 9. A man approached the registration desk and informed Jones and Blackard
- that he was Trooper Danny Ferguson, Bill Clinton's bodyguard. Defendant
- Ferguson was at that time a law enforcement officer within the ranks of
- the Arkansas State Police and assigned to the Governor's Security Detail.
- He was in street clothes and displayed a firearm on his person. He made
- small talk with Jones and Blackard and then left.
-
- 10. At approximately 2:30 p.m. on that day, Ferguson reappeared at the
- registration desk, delivered a piece of paper to Jones with a four digit
- number written on it and said: "The Governor would like to meet with you" in
- this suite number. Plaintiff had never met Defendant Clinton and saw him in
- person for the first time at the Conference.
-
- 11. A three-way conversation followed between Ferguson, Blackard and Jones
- about what the Governor could want. Jones, who was then a rank-and-file
- Arkansas state employee being paid approximately $ 6.35 an hour, thought
- it was an honor to be asked to meet the Governor. Ferguson stated during
- the conversation: "It's okay, we do this all the time for the Governor."
-
- 12. Jones agreed to meet with the Governor because she thought it
- might lead to an enhanced employment opportunity with the State. Blackard
- told Jones that she would assume Plaintiff's duties at the registration desk.
-
- 13. Trooper Ferguson then escorted Jones to the floor of the hotel suite
- whose number had been written on the slip of paper Trooper Ferguson had
- given to Jones. The door was slightly ajar when she arrived at the suite.
-
- 14. Jones knocked on the door frame and Clinton answered. Plaintiff
- entered. Ferguson remained outside.
-
- 15. The room was furnished as a business suite, not for an overnight hotel
- guest. It contained a couch and chairs, but no bed.
-
- 16. Clinton shook Jones' hand, invited her in, and closed the door.
-
- 17. A few minutes of small talk ensued, which included asking Jones
- about her job. Clinton told Jones that Dave Harrington is "my good
- friend." On May 8, 1991, David Harrington was Director of the AIDC,
- having been appointed to that post by Governor Clinton. Harrington was
- Jones' ultimate superior within the AIDC.
-
- 18. Clinton then took Jones' hand and pulled her toward him, so that their
- bodies were in close proximity.
-
- 19. Jones removed her hand from his and retreated several feet.
-
- 20. However, Clinton approached Jones again. He said: "I love the way your
- hair flows down your back" and "I love your curves." While saying these
- things, Clinton put his hand on Plaintiff's leg and started sliding it
- toward the hem of Plaintiff's culottes. Clinton also bent down to attempt
- to kiss Jones on the neck.
-
- 21. Jones exclaimed, "What are you doing?" and escaped from Clinton's
- physical proximity by walking away from him. Jones tried to distract
- Clinton by chatting with him about his wife. Jones later took a seat at
- the end of the sofa nearest the door. Clinton asked Jones: "Are you
- married?" She responded that she had a regular boyfriend. Clinton then
- approached the sofa and as he sat down he lowered his trousers and
- underwear exposing his erect penis and asked Jones to "kiss it."
-
- 22. There were distinguishing characteristics in Clinton's genital
- area that were obvious to Jones.
-
- 23. Jones became horrified, jumped up from the couch, stated that she was
- "not that kind of girl" and said: "Look, I've got to go." She attempted to
- explain that she would get in trouble for being away from the
- registration desk.
-
- 24. Clinton, while fondling his penis said: "Well, I don't want to
- make you do anything you don't want to do." Clinton then stood up and
- pulled up his pants and said: "If you get in trouble for leaving work, have
- Dave call me immediately and I'll take care of it." As Jones left the room
- Clinton looked sternly at Jones and said: "You are smart. Let's keep this
- between ourselves."
-
- 25. Jones believed "Dave" to be the same David Harrington, of whom Clinton
- previously referred. Clinton, by his comments about Harrington to Jones,
- affirmed that he had control over Jones' employment, and that he was
- willing to use that power. Jones became fearful that her refusal to
- succumb to Clinton's advances could damage her in her job and even
- jeopardize her employment.
-
- 26. At no time, nor in any manner, did Jones encourage Clinton to turn the
- meeting toward a sexual liaison. To the contrary, the unwanted sexual
- advances made by Clinton were repugnant and abhorrent to Jones who took
- all reasonable steps she could think to do to terminate Clinton's
- perverse attention and actions toward her.
-
- 27. Jones left the hotel suite and came into the presence of Trooper
- Fergusonin the hallway. Ferguson did not escort Plaintiff back to the
- registration desk. Jones said nothing to Ferguson and he said nothing to
- her during her departure from the suite.
-
- 28. Jones was visibly shaken and upset when she returned to the
- registration desk. Pamela Blackard immediately asked her what was wrong.
- After a moment, during which Jones attempted to collect herself, she told
- Blackard much of what had happened. Blackard attempted to comfort Plaintiff.
-
- 29. Jones thereafter left the Conference and went to the work place of her
- friend, Debra Ballentine.
-
- 30. When Ballentine met Plaintiff at the reception area, she immediately
- asked Jones what was wrong because Jones was visibly upset and nervous.
- Plaintiff wanted to talk about something that just happened and wanted to
- discuss it someplace privately. Ballentine and Jones went to a private
- area in the office, and later outside. Jones then told Ballentine what had
- happened withClinton in the hotel suite. According to Ballentine, Jones
- told her that Clintonsaid as she left the room, "I know you're a smart
- girl and I'm sure you'll keep this to yourself."
-
- 31. Ballentine urged Jones to report the incident. Plaintiff refused,
- fearing that, if she did so, no one would believe her account, that she
- would lose her job, and that the incident would endanger her relationship
- with her then-fiance (now husband), Stephen Jones.
-
- 32. Later, on the same day, Plaintiff also described the substance of her
- encounter with Clinton to her sister, Charlotte Corbin Brown.
-
- 33. Within two days or May 8, 1991, Plaintiff also informed her
- sister, Lydia Corbin Cathey, and her mother, Delmar Lee Corbin, the
- substance of her encounter with Clinton.
-
- 34. Plaintiff also told her fiance, Stephen Jones, that "Bill Clinton
- made a pass at me but I said 'no'." She, however, did not at that time
- tell him the lurid details of her horrific encounter with Clinton in the
- hotel suite, which she feared, if disclosed, might ruin her relationship
- with Mr. Jones
-
- 35. Plaintiff continued to work at AIDC. One of her duties was to deliver
- documents to and from the Office of the Governor, as well as other offices
- within the Arkansas State Capitol complex. In or about June, 1991, while
- Jones was performing this duty, Ferguson saw her at the Governor's office
- and said: "Bill wants your phone number. Hillary's out of town often and
- Bill would like to see you." Plaintiff refused to provide her telephone
- number.
-
- 36. On another occasion, Ferguson approached Jones and asked: "How's
- Steve?" This frightened Plaintiff and made her feel as if she was being
- watched and was not safe. She had never told Ferguson or Clinton the name
- of her fiance.
-
- 37. Plaintiff and Stephen Jones later married. She gave birth to her child
- and returned to work, after which she encountered Ferguson at Governor
- Clinton's office. Ferguson told her: "I've told Bill how good looking you
- are since you've had the baby." This, too, frightened Plaintiff and made
- her feel that her activities were being monitored.
-
- 38. On one occasion, Plaintiff was accosted by Clinton in the Rotunda
- of the Arkansas State Capitol. Clinton draped his arm over Plaintiff,
- pulled her close and tightly to his body and said: "Don't we make a
- beautiful couple -- beauty and the beast?" Clinton directed this remark
- to his bodyguard, Trooper Larry Patterson, an officer of the Arkansas
- State Police and also a member of the Governor's Security Detail.
-
- 39. Jones continued to work at AIDC even though she was in constant
- fear that Governor Clinton might take retaliatory action against her
- because of her rejection of his abhorrent sexual advances. Her enjoyment
- of her work was severely diminished. In fact, she was treated in a
- hostile and rude manner by certain superiors in AIDC. This rude conduct
- had not happened prior to her encounter with Clinton. Further, after her
- maternity leave she was transferred to a position which had no
- responsible duties for which she could be adequately evaluated to earn
- advancement. The reason given to her by her superiors for the transfer
- was that her previous position had been eliminated. This reason was
- untrue since her former position was not abolished. It was a pretext for the
- real reason which was that she was being punished for her rejection of the
- various advances made by Clinton described above. In addition, the job in
- which she was placed called for a higher grade and pay, yet she was not
- paid more money than she received in her previous position. Although
- other employees received merit increases, Jones never received a raise
- beyond a cost of living increase.
-
- 40. Jones terminated her employment and separated from AIDC service on
- February 20, 1993. On May 4, 1993, Plaintiff, her husband and child moved to
- California.
-
- 41. In January, 1994, Plaintiff visited her family and friends in
- Arkansas. While Jones was in Arkansas, Ms. Ballentine telephoned Jones to
- arrange a meeting for lunch. During the telephone conversation,
- Ballentine read to Plaintiff a paragraph from an article published in the
- January, 1994 issue of The American Spectator magazine regarding
- Plaintiff's hotel suite encounter with Clinton. Attached hereto, and
- incorporated herein, as Exhibit "A" is a copy of The American Spectator
- article.
-
- 42. The American Spectator account asserts that a woman by the name of
- "Paula" told an unnamed trooper (obviously Defendant Ferguson), who had
- escorted "Paula" to Clinton's hotel room, that "she was available to be
- Clinton's regular girlfriend if he so desired," thus implying a
- consummated and satisfying sexual encounter with Clinton, as well as a
- willingness to continue a sexual relationship with him. These assertions
- are untrue. The article, using information apparently derived from Ferguson,
- also incorrectly asserts that the encounter took place in the evening.
-
- 43. The American Spectator account also asserted that the troopers'
- "'official' duties included facilitating Clinton's cheating on his wife. This
- meant that, on the State payroll, and using State time, vehicles and
- resources, they were instructed by Clinton on a regular basis to approach
- women and to solicit their telephone numbers for the Governor, to drive
- him in State vehicles to rendezvous points and guard him during sexual
- encounters; to secure hotel rooms and other meeting places for sex; . .
- ." and various other things to facilitate Clinton's sex life including
- "to help Clinton cover-up his activities by keeping tabs on Hillary's
- whereabouts and lying to Hillary about her husband's whereabouts."
- Although this pattern of conduct by Clinton may be true,the magazine
- article concluded, evidently from interviews with troopers from
- Clinton's Security Detail, including Ferguson, that "all of the women
- appear to have been willing participants in the affairs and liaisons
- [emphasis added]."
-
- 44. Since Jones ("Paula") was one of the women preyed upon by Clinton
- and his troopers, including by Defendant Ferguson, in the manner described
- above, those who read this magazine account could conclude falsely that
- Jones ("Paula") had a sexual relationship and affair with Clinton. Jones'
- reputation within her community was thus seriously damaged.
-
- 45. Jones realized that those persons who already knew about the hotel
- room
- encounter could identify her as the "Paula" mentioned in The American
- Spectator article. She became extremely upset because, inter alia, she
- feared that the statements in the magazine would damage her relationship
- with her husband, her family, and her friends and acquaintances, some of
- whom might have believed that she had agreed to be Clinton's "girlfriend"
- at a time when she was engaged to Mr. Jones.
-
- 46. On January 8, 1994, at approximately 12:00 noon, Jones and Ballentine
- were dining at the Golden Corral Steakhouse in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
- Trooper Ferguson, who happened to be dining with his wife at this restaurant,
- came over to their table to talk to Jones. Since Jones believed that the
- ultimate source of the report in The American Spectator of the hotel suite
- encounter was Trooper Ferguson, she confronted him on this matter. Trooper
- Ferguson stated that he was sorry that Jones' first name had appeared in the
- magazine article but that he had purposely concealed her last name and
- place of employment from those to whom he recounted the incident. Trooper
- Ferguson also said that he knew Jones had rebuffed Mr. Clinton's sexual
- advances because, "Clinton told me you wouldn't do anything anyway, Paula."
-
- 47. Because the false statements appearing in The American Spectator
- article that Jones was willing to have sex with Clinton (and the innuendo
- that she had already done so when she left the hotel suite) threatened her
- marriage, her friendships, and her family relationships, Plaintiff spoke
- publicly on February 11, 1994, that she was the "Paula" mentioned in The
- American Spectator article, that she had rebuffed Clinton's sexual advances,
- and that she had not expressed a willingness to be his girlfriend. Jones
- and her lawyer asked that Clinton acknowledge the incident, state that
- Jones had rejected Clinton's advances, and apologize to Jones.
-
- 48. Clinton, who is now President of the United States of America
- responded to Jones' request for an apology by having his press spokespersons
- deliver a statement on his behalf that the incident never happened, and
- that he never met Plaintiff. Thus, by innuendo and effect, Clinton publicly
- branded Plaintiff a liar. Moreover, as recently as the week this
- Complaint was filed, Clinton, through his White House aides, stated that
- Plaintiff's account of the hotel room incident was untrue and a "cheap
- political trick."
-
- 49. Clinton hired an attorney, who, as Clinton's agent, said that Jones'
- account "is really just another effort to rewrite the results of the election
- [i.e. for President of the United States] and . . . distract the
- President from his agenda." The attorney further asked the question: "Why
- are these claims being brought now, three years after the fact?" The
- attorney also asked how Jones' allegations could be taken "seriously."
- These comments by Clinton's counsel, on behalf of Clinton, imply that
- Jones is a liar
-
- 50. Dee Dee Meyers, White House Spokeswoman, said of Jones' allegations:
- "It's just not true." Thus, the pattern of defaming Jones continues to this
- date.
-
- 51. Clinton knows that Jones' allegations are true and that his, and his
- attorney's, spokespersons', and agents' denials are false.
-
- 52. The outrageous nature of Clinton's branding of Jones as a liar is
- aggravated in that a greater stigma and reputation loss is suffered by
- Jones by the statements of the President of the United States in whom the
- general public reposes trust and confidence in the integrity of the
- holder of that office.
-
- 53. Clinton, a member of the Arkansas State Bar, knew or should have
- known on May 8, 1991, and thereafter, that Arkansas law provides that
- harassment, including the touching or attempt or threat to do so which
- subjects the victim to offensive or potentially offensive physical
- contact, is a criminal violation of Arkansas Code Annotated 5-71-208.
-
- 54. While Jones was in Clinton's hotel suite, Jones was falsely
- imprisoned by Clinton's intentional restriction of her personal freedom of
- movement without legal right. Clinton's use of force in pulling Jones
- toward him, his words and acts, and the armed police guard outside the
- door, in conjunction with the impressive atmosphere of her being alone
- with the Governor of the State who was also her superior's boss, caused
- her to be initially and, temporarily afraid to terminate the meeting.
-
- 55. The statements, acts, and omissions of Clinton's agents, servants, and
- employees who acted under his explicit and implicit instructions and
- supervision, during the pertinent periods herein when he was Governor of
- Arkansas, and after he became President, bind Clinton under the doctrines of
- agency, joint conduct, master-servant, respondeat superior, and conspiracy.
-
- 56. The actions of the Arkansas state employees, including Defendant
- Ferguson and other agents of Clinton were taken under color of state law.
-
- 57. Clinton's actions and omissions above stated caused Jones
- embarassment, humiliation, fear, emotional distress, horror, grief,
- shame, marital discord and loss of reputation.
-
- COUNT I
-
- DEPRIVATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES
-
- (42 U.S.C. @ 1983)
-
- 58. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 57.
-
- 59. Plaintiff is entitled to the equal protection of the laws under the
- Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and due process
- of law under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States
- Constitution.
-
- 60. Defendant Clinton, as Governor of Arkansas, acting under color of
- state law, discriminated against Plaintiff because of her gender by sexually
- harassing and assaulting her on May 8, 1991, and thereafter, and this
- deprived Jones of her right to equal protection of the law.
-
- 61. Further, he continued personally, and through agents, to impose a
- hostile work environment on Plaintiff in which she feared the loss of her
- employment and the possible adverse employment actions against her,
- including job discrimination and monitoring of her personal life. As
- described above she was placed in a category separate from other public
- employees in that she was actually subjected to hostility by her
- superiors, which deprived her of an opportunity for advancement and she
- suffered an economic depravation.
-
- 62. Plaintiff, as a citizen and Arkansas state employee, was entitled to
- due process protection of freedom from arbitrary action which jeopardized her
- property interest in her public employee job in that she should not have been
- subjected arbitrarily to the fear of losing that job or of having to
- provide sexto the Governor as a quid pro quo for keeping the job.
- Further, she should not have been subjected arbitrarily to the fear of
- losing the enjoyment of a proper and pleasant work environment, or to
- other adverse actions which she feared and which deprived her of the
- proper enjoyment and efficiency of her work. Clinton's actions deprived
- Jones of her due process liberty and property interests guaranteed to her
- by the Constitution of the United States.
-
- 63. Plaintiff also was entitled to a due process liberty interest in her
- reputation as an honest public employee. Clinton's actions and statements
- deprived Jones of these rights.
-
- 64. Plaintiff, for a brief period of time, was held against her will
- by the oppressive atmosphere of intimidation caused by the presence of
- the highest official of the State of Arkansas and an armed guard at the
- door. Not only was she subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, but also
- was personally restrained and imprisoned by the seizing of her person,
- against her will, by Clinton and his agent.
-
- 65. The above-described actions of Clinton were undertaken when he
- was acting under the color of state law, as Governor of Arkansas, and
- said actions deprived Jones of federal equal protection and due process
- rights guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United
- States Constitution, and made actionable by 42 U.S.C. @ 1983 (The Civil
- Rights Act).
-
- COUNT II
-
- CONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVING PERSONS OF EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS
-
- (42 U.S.C. @ 1985)
-
- 66. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 65.
-
- 67. Clinton conspired with his Security Detail, including with Defendant
- Ferguson, and perhaps with others currently unknown to this Plaintiff, to
- deprive Jones of equal protection of the laws and of equal privileges and
- immunities under the laws, as further set forth in Count I above.
-
- 68. The conspirators committed some acts in furtherance of the conspiracy
- which included contacting Jones and bringing her to Clinton on May 8,
- 1991 to permit him to attempt to entice her on to have a sexual liaison
- with him.
-
- 69. As a result of the conspiracy, Jones was injured by Defendants in her
- person and property and deprived of having and exercising her rights and
- privileges as a citizen of the United States, as is more fully set forth in
- Count I.
-
- COUNT III
-
- INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS
-
- 70. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 69.
-
- 71. The conduct of Clinton herein set forth was odious, perverse and
- outrageous. Not only were the acts of sexual perversity unwelcome by
- Jones, but they were wilful, wanton, reckless, intentional, persistent
- and continuous in the hotel room.
-
- 72. Clinton's sexual advances, assaults upon and imprisonment of Jones'
- person, and his exposure of his erect penis and his requests of acts to be
- performed thereupon were extreme, intentional, and caused Jones severe
- emotional distress.
-
- 73. Not content with the events in the hotel on May 8, 1991, Clinton on
- subsequent occasions, acting himself and through his agents, as specified
- above, aggravated further the initial severe emotional damage to Jones.
-
- 74. These actions were so outrageous in character, and extreme in
- degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be
- regarded as atrocious andutterly intolerable in a civilized society.
-
- COUNT IV
-
- DEFAMATION
-
- 75. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 74.
-
- 76. On several occasions on and after February 11, 1994, Clinton, and his
- agents and employees acting pursuant to his direction, maliciously and
- wilfully, defamed Jones by making statements which Clinton knew to be
- false. These statements were made with the intent and certain knowledge
- that they would be reprinted in the print and other media.
-
- 77. Such statements by Clinton, his agents and employees,
- characterized Jones as a liar and as being "pathetic," and damaged her
- good name, character, and reputation.
-
- 78. Defendant Ferguson's statements likewise maliciously and will fully
- defamed plaintiff and damaged her good name, character and reputation.
- Ferguson's statement that Jones had agreed to be Clinton's girlfriend,
- and his innuendo that she had willingly participated in a sexual
- encounter, were knowingly false.
-
- 79. That Ferguson knew these statements were false is confirmed by
- Clinton's denial to Ferguson that anything happened of a sexual nature
- between Clinton and Jones.
-
- RELIEF REQUESTED
-
- WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the following relief:
-
- a. Count I, judgment against Defendant Clinton for compensatory
- damages of $ 75,000.00; punitive damages for Defendant's wilful,
- outrageous and malicious conduct, of $ 100,000.00; the costs of her suit
- and attorneys' fees; nominal damages, and such other and further relief
- as the Court may deem proper.
-
- b. Count II, judgment against Defendant Clinton and Defendant Ferguson,
- jointly and severally for compensatory damages of $ 75,000.00; punitive
- damages for Defendant's wilful, outrageous and malicious conduct, of
- $ 100,000.00; the costs of her suit and attorney's fees; nominal damages,
- and such other and further relief as the Court may deem proper.
-
- c. Count III, judgment against Defendant Clinton for compensatory
- damages of $ 75,000.00; punitive damages for Defendant's wilful,

- and further relief as the Court may deem proper.
-
- d. Count IV, judgment against Defendant Clinton and Defendant Ferguson,
- jointly and severally for compensatory damages of $ 75,000.00; punitive
- damages for Defendant's wilful, outrageous and malicious statements and
