Report: Rape accusation against Whitman’s son ‘hushed up’

Whitman's son had previously been charged with assaulting woman; charges were dropped

Several years after California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman donated $30 million to Princeton University, the school decided not to punish her son for an alleged rape, according to a new report by Gawker.

Gawker's Maureen O'Connor reports that in the spring of 2006, an unnamed classmate accused Griffith Rutherford Harsh V, Whitman's son, of rape. By his own admission, Harsh met up with the girl after a night of partying and had sex with her.

"She awoke the next morning with a black eye, bruised face and, she told friends, with no memories from the previous night," O'Connor writes. An anonymous friend of told the website that the girl didn't remember consenting or having sex.

2. Brewer packed her son off to a mental hospital
He's apparently been there for 20 years following an incident of sexual assault and kidnapping. These records were sealed by the court once it was apparent that she would ascend to the governorship after Napolitano was appointed to be head of Homeland Security by Obama.

3. The law is only for us little people in their minds.
Maybe they would think differently if they were scared to death of ending up hung or shot or guillotined.

7. typical Ivy League college.
All they care about is the money; that's why they let so many stupid rich people into their undergraduate and MBA programs.
