Tawana Brawley Finally Forced to Pay Man She Defamed

Big Government
" As Breitbart News has previously recalled, in November 1987, fifteen year-old black teenager Tawana Brawley was found in Wappinger's Falls, NY wrapped in a plastic bag, with feces in her hair and with "KKK" and the n-word written on her body. She claimed to have been abducted, then raped and sodomized by six white men. She quickly gained a set of advisors headed by Al Sharpton along with attorneys Mason and Maddox, fresh off a round of racially charged publicity in the Howard Beach incident. As the Post explains:".....
.....Brawley’s handlers then claimed — without proof — that Pagones was part of the white mob that kidnapped and raped the girl 33 times.
Celebrities lined up to support Tawana, including Bill Cosby, who posted a $25,000 reward for information on the case; Don King, who promised $100,000 for Brawley’s education; and Spike Lee, who in his 1989 film, “Do the Right Thing,” included a shot of a graffiti message reading, “Tawana told the truth.”


...."Sharpton had his settlement debt to Pagones paid by supporters, including O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran. MSNBC host and Obama ally Sharpton is still unrepentant about the Brawley incident and refuses to even say that Brawley was lying, instead claiming in a recent interview: "Whatever happened, you're dealing with a minor who was missing for four days, so it's clear that something wrong happened.""
