The victim in a 1975 child rape case, in which Hillary Clinton acted as attorney for the defendant, gave an interview to the Daily Beast in which she said that Hillary Clinton took me through hell. The interview followed the publication by the Washington Free Beacon of audio recordings in which Clinton discussed the case. Conservative figures had used the recordings to criticize Clinton, though the victim had declined to speak with the Free Beacon. She granted an interview with the Daily Beasts Josh Rogin, who agreed to withhold her name. “I would say [to Clinton], ‘You took a case of mine in ‘75, you lied on me… I realize the truth now, the heart of what you’ve done to me, the victim said. And you are supposed to be for women? You call that [being] for women, what you done to me? In its 2008 feature on the case, Newsday reported that Clintons strategy had been attacking the credibility of a 12-year-old girl. Clinton said in the recordings that her client plea bargained. According to the Free Beacon, he was sentenced to one year behind bars. talkingpointsmemo/livewire/hillary-clinton-rape-victim-daily-beast-interview
