Why would you say the woman needs mental help, because she's on a quest for money? Greed is not something you seek mental care for. At least not very often I would think.
Shelby's lawyers released a statement in Jalopnik.
Woman claims she was groped by Carroll Shelby; raped at his home

In his counsels statement it is written, "The fact is that her position was no longer required due to Mr. Shelby's age, health and work schedule."
It appears CS's health is diminishing, no?

They most likely will settle out of court, as at 88 years of age, the question of is it real or a replica will surely come up!

He shouldn't worry. At 88 The evidence will never stand up in court.
Or, they might change the charge to "assault with a dead weapon".

You know, come to think of it, I was also raped by Carroll Shelby or one of his employees. Anyone think I could get some money out of him? IMHO, this is just another money-grubbing, publicity-seeking nut case tying up the legal system with their nonsense. If the woman was truly raped, wouldn't she have reported it to the police rather than to a boss who had allegedly sent her out to buy porn for him? She was probably fired for being a raving lunatic rather than for reporting an alleged rape. Gimme a break.

I love it. The various comments on this thread show why it is so much fun going through the jury selection process in sexual harassment cases. Might as well just have Nancy Grace conduct a call-in poll and be done with it.

I once tried to bluff my way onto the jury for the murderer of a US customs special agent. It didn't work. For some reason they thought that I might not be completely un-biased. Can ya believe that crap? I did make it through 2 selections though!

This just in.....
In response to these allegations, Mr. Shelby has filed a suit against Ms. Smith for the refusal to "trade her dress" violations.

I once got out of jury duty for a murder trial (one drug dealer wacked another for his dope), they said the trial would last 3 to 5 days and it was 2 days before deer season opened and the trial was going to go thru the weekend.......Told the lawyers I was all for the death penalty and anyone dealing drugs was automatically guilty and should get the death penalty....
They couldn't get me out the door fast enough........
BTW: it never went to trial, the guy took a plea and 30 years in the big house after the jury was seated......

Working there was so un-bareable she could only stay there for 5 years until she was fired.

They post these things because people believe anything that is printed. I hope it's all false.

If Ms Smith was in fact "raped" by one of Shelby's employees as alleged, why didn't she report the assault to the police and have them investigate and/or charge the perp?
Launching a $5 million civil suit against Shelby instead casts serious doubts on her true motives.

Agree with ya, but it's the new American way of getting something for nothing...
how often do you read about people in their 20's and 30's now claiming they were abused/victimized as young kids and suing someone for it??? How often do you see these type sexual harrasment suits filed years after the fact???? if you look hard enough,you can find this type of stuff on a daily basis...
It's also easier to prove in civil court than in criminal court!!!!!!!

The true winners in these situations are --- the lawyers!
Contingency fees only - no cost to you - are the brass ring today - forget the
merry-go-round of yesteryear. Now if only the loser had to pay legal costs I
think a lot of these frivolous law suits would be eliminated. Just sayin.
