In 1991, Smith was tried and acquitted on a charge of rape, represented by
Miami-based criminal defense attorney Roy Black in a trial that attracted
extensive media coverage.[6]
The incident began on the evening of Good Friday, March 29, 1991, when Smith
, then 30 years old, was in a bar (named Au Bar) in Palm Beach, Florida,
with his uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, and his cousin Patrick J. Kennedy.
Smith met a 29-year-old woman and another young woman at the bar. The five
then went to a nearby house owned by the Kennedy family. Smith and 29-year-
old woman walked along the beach. The woman alleged that Smith raped her;
Smith testified that the sex was consensual. Although three women were
willing to testify that Smith had sexually assaulted them in incidents in
the 1980s that were not reported to the police, their testimony was excluded
.[7] Smith was acquitted of all charges. |
