Cramer, 44, took the stand shortly before court recessed at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. He will likely continue today before Visiting Judge Homer Salinas in Auxiliary Court A, where his trial began June 7. Cramer, who gained national notoriety with an anti-Al Gore commercial in 2000, is facing several counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. He is the second witness defense attorney Charles Banker called to rebut the testimony of the two 15-year-old girls who testified Cramer sexually molested them when they were younger. One of the girls lived with Cramer and his ex-wife Samara Whittaker for eight years in Mercedes, McAllen and Tucson, Ariz., and claimed he began to inappropriately touch her beginning when she was 8 years old. She testified the abuse included pornography, sex toys and escalated from touching to sexual intercourse. But Cramer’s sister, Heather Cramer, told jurors Tuesday the girl and Whittaker are not truthful people. Heather Cramer also claimed the girl denied the abuse to her, but the judge ruled the statements as hearsay, and would not allow her to testify to the jury about her conversation with the girl. Banker has argued the girls’ allegations are false and stem from a custody battle over the son Cramer has with Whittaker. During her testimony, the girl denied lying for Whittaker and inventing the allegations. Another 15-year-old testified that Cramer touched her genital area one time when she was visiting the family in Mercedes. Cramer’s alleged victims are relatives. In 2000, Cramer produced an anti-Al Gore television ad accusing the Clinton-Gore administration of giving nuclear technology to China in return for campaign contributions. Cramer’s commercial showed a young girl picking daisy petals and ends with a nuclear blast, a remake of a 1964 ad by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign against Republican Barry Goldwater. Cramer’s ad made national news, though he refused to identify who financed the commercial. One of the girls in the ad stands as his accuser now. —— Brittney Booth covers courts and general assignments for The Monitor.
