Tara Reade’s Biden Complaint Is Now An ‘Inactive Case’ In D.C.

The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPDC) has changed the status of a sexual assault complaint filed against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden from active to inactive, One America News Network’s Richard Pollack reported Wednesday.

Tara Reade worked as a U.S. Senate staffer for Biden in 1993, the year in which she has accused him of kissing her, touching her and penetrating her with his fingers without her consent. She filed the report with MPDC on April 9.

“It is outside the criminal statute of limitations so there is no mechanism available for them to keep it active,” Reade told this reporter. “I filed it so I would have an extra layer of safety and to demonstrate I am willing to cooperate with law enforcement and any investigation regarding what happened.”

MPDC Public Affairs Specialist Brianna Jordan told the Daily Caller Wednesday “this is an inactive case and there are no additional details to provide.”

The Biden campaign has denied the assault allegation, saying it “absolutely did not happen” and that the former Vice President and Senator “firmly believes that women have a right to be heard — and heard respectfully.”

Tara Reade alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 while she was working in his Washington, D.C. office. Her brother, Collin Moulton, recently told Business Insider he remembered his sister saying Biden “had his hand under her clothes at some point.” He is one of at least five people to corroborate details of Reade’s story.

In a recent interview with The Intercept, Reade described an anonymous phone call her mother made to CNN’s “Larry King Live” asking for advice for her daughter, who was “sexually harassed and retaliated against” while working for a “prominent senator.” The Media Research Center later uncovered and released the damning clip from a 1993 airing of King’s show on CNN (above).

Biden had already represented Delaware as a U.S. Senator for two decades at the time of the alleged assault. He maintained his seat until becoming Vice President in January 2009, a position he held for eight years.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) defended Biden during an appearance on CNN Thursday morning, adding that she still supports the presumptive nominee despite the sexual assault accusations against him. CNN host Alisyn Camerota noted that even though the Biden campaign has denied any wrongdoing, Joe Biden has not addressed Reade’s allegation himself.

“I have great sympathy for any women who bring forth an allegation,” said Pelosi. “I’m a big strong supporter of the MeToo movement. I think it’s been, it’s made a great contribution to our country, and I do support Joe Biden. I’m satisfied with how he has responded.”

“The election, closely-watched across the nation, came after months of intense debate over criminal justice and public safety in San Francisco” writes the Chronicle.

The voters are “frustrated with a dysfunctional city” and horrendous crime rates. They saw “an elected official unwilling to acknowledge he was at least partly responsible for the problems – and cast him out.”

Boudin received an overwhelming 60% vote in favor of recall. San Francisco voters “embrace being labeled as progressive” but “decided they wanted a more traditional crime-fighter as district attorney and delivered what will be viewed nationally as a blow to efforts to reshape criminal justice” adds the Chronicle.
