Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Police Questioning of Kennedys Delayed
- Share via
Police detectives in Palm Beach, Fla., made “a number of visits” to the Kennedy family’s estate after an alleged sexual assault there, including one soon after they received the rape report about 2 p.m. March 30, a police spokesman said. Each time, they were told members of the family weren’t there. A Jupiter, Fla., woman said she was raped by William Kennedy Smith, a nephew of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.). Smith, 30, denied the allegation. No one has been charged. Palm Beach detectives went to the Washington area the following week to interview family members and obtain blood and hair samples from Smith.
