| 49. Secretary of Slander |

In 1998 Sharpton was ordered to pay Steven Pagones $65,000 in damages for slander for explicitly implicating the young prosecutor in the rape of Tawana Brawley. Before the trial Sharpton had said, "We stated openly that Steven Pagones ... did it ... if we're lying, sue us"<1>. Sharpton refused to pay. In January 2001 after Pagones had collected only $15,000 from Sharpton's garnished salary, a group of wealthy African Americans stepped in to pay.
