Former vice president Al Gore could be devastated by the sexual abuse charges filed against him. But now he can breathe better, because he just got cleared of all the charges.

Gore was accused of making “unwanted sexual contact” with a massage therapist named Molly Hagerty in 2006.

But according the ABCNews.com, the Portland district attorney determined that Gore did not commit acts of sexual harassment which are “appropriate for criminal prosecution.”

Hagerty was being question by Senior Deputy District Attorney Don Rees for selling her abuse story to the National Enquirer and for failing the polygraph test.

“This case is not appropriate for criminal prosecution. The matter is closed and the investigative materials will be returned to PPB [the Portland Police Bureau],” says Rees.

Kalee Kreider, Gore’s spokeswoman, issued a statement: “Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved.”
