FULL TEXT: Mineola, N. Y. – A New York City employee won $10,000 in state Supreme Court after he gave a convincing demonstration of his argument that he had been falsely sued for rape.
Jeffrey Gordon, a 30-year-old accountant with the New York
City comptroller’s office, was arrested last year and charged with first-degree
rape. When a grand jury refused to indict him, Gordon sued the woman who
brought the charge against him, 29-year-old Andrea Cohen, for $2.5 million for
alleged libel and slander.
Miss Cohen testified Wednesday during the one-day non-jury
trial that when she was raped, she had pulled at Gordon’s hair.
At that point in the testimony, Gordon stood up [and]
removed his toupee.
Justice Angelo Roncallo directed the $10,000 settlement,
saying he didn’t believe the alleged rape ever happened.
