President Clinton was caught in a humiliating sex scandal when Monica Lewinsky was exposed as his secret Oval Office lover. Monica, however, was only investigated as part of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones. Clinton was asked under oath in 1998 about relations with his intern during the trial. He was accused of perjury after denying having sex with Monica — helping to bury Paula's own shocking story.

Paula went to court claiming that she'd been sexually harassed by Clinton in an Arkansas hotel room in 1991 — when she was a state employee and he was governor. She had been working in her state job at a convention at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock when a Clinton bodyguard came over and gave her a piece of paper with a hotel suite number on it, saying: "The governor would like to meet with you."

Thinking it was an honor to be asked to meet the governor, she went up to the room. This is her account of what happened next: "I knocked on the door frame and Clinton answered. I went in. It was a business suite, with a couch and chairs but no bed. Clinton shook my hand, invited me in, and closed the door."

"For a few minutes," Paula continued, "we engaged in small talk. He asked me about my job. Clinton then took my hand and pulled me toward him so that our bodies were in close proximity. I removed my hand from his and backed up a few feet. But he approached me again. He said, 'I love the way your hair flows down your back. I love your curves.'"

"While saying these things," Paula recalled, "he put his hand on my leg and started 'You're smart...let's keep this between ourselves' sliding it up toward the hem of my culottes. He then bent down to try to kiss my neck. I said firmly, 'What are you doing?'...I tried to distract him by asking about his wife, Hillary — and I walked over to the sofa nearest the door and sat down."

"I'll never forget the look on his face," Paula continued. "It was just red, beet red. Clinton then asked me, 'Are you married?' I said 'no, but I have a regular boyfriend.' He then walked over to the sofa - but as he sat down he lowered his trousers and underwear, exposing his genitals. And he asked me to 'kiss it.'"

"I could see that there were distinguishing characteristics in his genital area. They were obvious," added Paula — before explaining that she quickly told Clinton that she had to get back to her position at a registration desk: "Clinton was fondling himself when he said, 'Well, I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do.'"

"Then," said Paula, "he stood up and pulled up his pants and said, 'If you get in trouble for leaving work, I'll take care of it' As I started to leave, Clinton looked at me sternly and said. 'You're smart. Let's keep this between ourselves.'"

Jones withstood a grueling 16-hour closed-door session with the president's high-powered lawyers, never wavering despite a withering attack on her credibility and embarrassing questions about her past. She also voluntarily submitted to a lie-detector test conducted by one of the nation's top polygraph experts — and passed with flying colors.

Sources during the lawsuit told The National ENQUIRER that Clinton primarily defended himself by repeatedly saying that he just couldn't remember anything specific about Jones or the day in question. However, he didn't dispute the testimony that one of his bodyguards brought Jones to his hotel suite that day.

The humiliating deposition also had Clinton finally admitting to his long affair with Gennifer Flowers [pictured], even as he denied an affair with Monica. He also testified that he had never groped White House volunteer Kathleen Willey. Judge Susan Webber Wright later dismissed Paula's case — but in the wake of the scandal over the Monica affair, Clinton settled the lawsuit for $850,000 without admitting liability.

That wasn't the final cost of the Paula Jones case, however. Judge Wright later found Clinton to be guilty of contempt for giving false testimony in a sexual harassment case. She fined him an additional $90,000 for denying his affair with Monica.
