No Wonder Everybody was Googling Carey Lee Cramer Today
A young girl featured in a controversial television ad during the 2000 presidential campaign testified this week that the man who developed the commercial molested her for years and forced her to watch pornography and use sex toys.
The girl, now 15, told jurors Carey Lee Cramer — a 44-year-old political consultant who gained national notoriety when he released an anti-Al Gore ad showing a young girl picking daisy petals and ending in a nuclear blast — began molesting her in the third grade, when she lived in Mercedes with him, his then-wife and her younger brother.
The ad in which she and another girl were featured was a remake of one Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign used against Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964.
The girl took the stand Thursday in Cramer's aggravated child sexual assault trial, which began June 7 in Hidalgo County before Visiting Judge Homer Salinas' Auxiliary Court A. She continued testifying Friday.
Cramer's defense attorney, Charles Banker, argues the allegations are false and stem from a custody battle over the son Cramer shares with his ex-wife, Samara Whittaker.
The girl shared graphic testimony. At times, she appeared to fight back tears and her voice quivered as she gave detailed accounts. ...
Yes, a description of the "graphic testimony" is at the link. It certainly turned my stomach.
Looks like I'll have to update this.
