Hunter S. Thompson
Author, Journalist
Hunter S. Thompson was a journalist and writer best known for his “gonzo journalism” style and his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
In 1990, Thompson was charged with violently groping a woman who declined his sexual advances. Thompson stated that the woman was drunk, and that she was the one who made aggressive sexual advances.
Prosecutors eventually asked for a dismissal of the charges, believing that their case was not strong enough to win.
