Tawana Brawley Pays Up

Tawana Brawley starts paying up after she falsely accused a Man of rape in 1987

After 26 years, Tawana Brawley typical liarberal has finally begun paying damages to Steven Pagones, a man she falsely accused of being among a group of men who raped her in 1987.

Brawley's payment comes in the form of nearly $3,800 in wage garnishments, Pagones told CNN Sunday. Brawley still owes Pagones more than $400,000 in defamation damages.

In fall 1987, Brawley, who is African-American, was found disheveled inside a trash bag with racial slurs written across her body in Wappingers Falls, New York. Brawley, then 15, claimed she was kidnapped and repeatedly raped by a group of white men.

In one of his first mainstream cases, activist Al Sharpton became Brawley's spokesman, staging rallies and calling for justice on her behalf.

When the case was brought before a grand jury, it concluded that Brawley had falsified the entire account.

Pagones, who was an assistant district attorney, filed a civil suit that named Brawley, Sharpton and Brawley's lawyers as defendants.

Sharpton has since paid his debt to Pagones. But Brawley, now 41 and a nurse living in Virginia, still owes Pagones more than $431,000.

  1. Obviously she's never going to pay all that. Also, she was under 18, so I'm not sure this harsh a sentence is appropriate. Maybe Al Sharpton should pay it. Certainly he could afford to. BTW, this story says Sharpton was assessed 66k in damages, but Johnnie Cochran paid it for him. It also says the original judgment against Brawley was 190k and now it's $431,492 "including interest".

    In any case, Tawana Brawley stands by her story. Pagones says he'll excuse the debt if Brawley "tells the truth". Whether she lied or not I do not know, but I do know that she isn't a "typical liarberal". IMO, Republiars are far more typical.
