Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez Accused of Paying For Sex

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, D-New Jersey, is accused of paying two Dominican Republic women for sex around Easter of this year.

The Daily Caller reported:

Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year. 

In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100. 

One woman said Menendez wooed her with compliments like “beautiful” before they slept together. The other woman recounted, with apparent bitterness, receiving from an intermediary only $100 of the $500 she had been promised.

Records show that Menendez was in the Dominican Republic during Easter of this year.  He is up for re-election November 6.  The women are allegedly underage.
