Victim Selene Walters

A victim, or at least an alleged victim from the near-forgotten political past is Selene Walters, who charged Ronald Reagan with raping her in 1952.

No legal actions were taken in this case, but the actress charged that Reagan, at that time president of the Screen Actors Guild, pushed his way into her apartment and forced himself on her.

Allegations of this incident appeared in the controversial 1991 book "Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography," by Kitty Kelley, who also claimed that Nancy Reagan had an affair with singer Frank Sinatra while her husband was U.S. president. (He used the baaaaaack way.)

Walters did not come forward with her charges against Reagan until 1991, when news of her allegations of rape appeared in major media. By this time or soon thereafter, Regan was beginning to sink into Alzheimers. The truth of the matter probably will never be known.
