Clinton’s 1975 Rape Case
Hillary Clinton Freed Child Rapist
Hillary Clinton's role in a 40-year-old rape case became the focal point of a viral meme in 2016, but the claims made about it were mostly inaccurate.

FALSE: Hillary Clinton Freed Child Rapist, Laughed About It
'...
At
PolitiFact, we decided to review what’s known about the case to see if Clinton accurately portrayed how she came to represent the defendant. Because some of the key players have died, we won’t issue a rating on our Truth-O-Meter.
Overall, we did find a few inconsistencies in Clinton’s recollection of the nearly 40-year-old events.
But we also found significant evidence suggesting she had little choice but to take the case. And the story itself provides insights in the early career of a potential 2016 presidential candidate...'
