She changed her name and moved to Virginia. But the infamous hoaxster that made race hustler Al Sharpton famous has been located and is facing a hefty wage garnishment for a civil case that she lost. What goes around comes around Tawana.

NY Post – Infamous hoaxster Tawana Brawley — whose outrageous rape lie 25 years ago inflamed racial tensions nationwide — yesterday was finally slapped with a court order to settle a hefty defamation case against her.

“For at least 25 years, she has been living a major lie,” said former Dutchess County prosecutor Steven Pagones, who was falsely accused of raping Brawley in 1987 and finally tracked her down, thanks to The Post.

“To me, this has always been about responsibility and accountability,’’ added the former ADA, who won the $190,000 defamation lawsuit against Brawley, 40, now a nurse in Virginia, more than a decade ago.

At 9 percent interest, that debt, which Brawley never attempted to pay off, now totals $431,492, according to the wage-garnishment papers filed in Virginia’s Surry County Court.

Unfortunately,no one will ever see a dime out of her. They need to go after Al Sharpton. He made a fortune giving this liar a platform

Good for him! How long will it be before the race-baiter Sharpton starts accusing any and all of racism for even attempting to collect on this? He should be fined also.

One day, the Rev. Al Sharpton shall face justice for exhausting the world's supply of Dixie Peach Hair Pomade.

I remember this circus side show. I forgot what a lard @ss Sharpton was back then.

I hope they garnish the full 25% of her pay for the mess this idiot caused.

Perhaps the Obama News Service (former NBC) will give her a job alongside Al. We need to now call all the lib media CONS (Communist Obama News Service).

Did Al Sharpton ever have to pay anything? Surely they could garnish his wages at MessNBC.

I would get it from Sharpton. Was not he the one that put her up to it !

Justice will be served or she will just disappear again, with the help of Sharpton and his under ground railroad.. These people live by the lie.. so their lives are always lies..

Just read Ann Coulter's book, Mugged. Excellent. She makes the point that the MSM makes a federal case of these race related hoaxes then drops them like a hot potato once the truth comes out. Wonder if this makes the evening news....

It may have come way too late, but the karma was there! 9% interest knocking up the amount to 431k, cool.

I used to say that bringing slaves here from Africa was one the worst things our Founders ever did, because we will never stop paying for it. I used to say that.

While indeed we may never stop paying for it, I stopped saying that when I realized how many good, decent Americans came out of that horrific societal mistake. People who understand what Freedom means, and appreciate the opportunity to enjoy it equally, with all other Americans.

I can point you to a hundred sites, where the accomplishments of Black Americans can be viewed. It is a long list. You would be amazed.

I believe it was simply the destiny of this country to be the tempest pot, for the mixing of races and cultures, to demonstrate to the world how different peoples can live together, so long as they have a common goal.

That common goal is Freedom. If it is denied from even one of us, then it cannot be enjoyed by any of us.

When we look at all poorest of black Americans who live in the inner cities, utterly lost to the rest of the world, no skills to find a job, raised by a mother on drugs, a father who was never there, it has to hurt your heart. The street is the only reality they have ever known. That, and the drugs, and the violence of the business of drugs.

You may at first think it is a failure of culture. Something we we should have done, but didn't.

While that may turn out to be true, A few somehow got past that. Given time, more will. But they won't do it, so long as Obama keeps stuffing Welfare and The Federal Government Pig Trough, in their faces.

We didn't get Colonel Allen West from that quagmire we call Washington. We got Allen West from his very good parents, who raised him to love this country and the Freedom it represents to all of us. Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice almost got there, but they haven't got rid of the race thing, just yet. That is not our problem. They own it for themselves. Because they haven't yet stopped hating Whitey.

Herman Cain did. He would have made a good President. No matter. The Republican Establishment saw him for what he was. A good American. I hope you are beginning to see the real problem.

To be sure, there will be more to come, and they will do what Colin Powell and Connie Rice and Herman Cain were not able to do.

Because of The Constitution. Because of that Sacred Document, written over two hundred years ago, that your current President wants to get rid of.

Those words, written on parchment by dead people, and preserved for all future generations, are like a brick wall, between where Obama and the Progressives are, and where they would like to get to, which is a One World Government, where you and I would have no rights whatsoever.

It is so obvious to see, how they are systematically destroying it. Piece by piece, a little bit at a time, so you don't notice. Aided in no small degree, by what we call, "the mainstream media.

Just do this one thing for me, and I will be happy. The Second Amendment was an absolute fail-safe position for our Founders. It was put there as an option, in case everything else failed. Well Folks, unless I miss my guess, everything else has failed.

Ammunition is four times the price right now, that it was six months ago.

I think it's a bargain. Think of it as buying Freedom. Cheap at the price.

Al Sharpton incited a riot that killed a Jewish man, this, and other race baiting incidents and he gets a show on msnbc.

She should be incarcerated at this point - that is a serious amount of money and justice denied to someone she caused great harm to. Prison time should be the result, not another court order.

The media loves to blame whiteguys for causing harm to black people, yet are silent when they cause harm to each other.

Exhibit A: The Tawana Brawley case

Exhibit B: The George Zimmerman case

Keep in mind the real reason her story was believable is because Dutchess County is the most corrupt county in NYS!! So when she came out with this outrageous story about being raped then having dog feces smeared on her, people believed that a group of cops would do this, and it's why this went as long as it did. Even though Miss Brawley was known for prostituting and having other anti-social behavior. Al Sharpton should bury himself in embarrassment and no black person should ever support this POS!!

Let's see aat first she owed $190,000 anf ran away. Now she ows 431,492.

Naw. She won't run again.

No wonder nobody likes low life scumb.

What if she's been on welfare for 25 years? Who pays the fine....The "O"?

Where was the background check when she changed her name checking for outstanding warrants and judgments?

Constance

No kidding. How did she accomplish that? You know, I don't even know where I would begin to try to change my name or identity. I guess that's because I'm just a silly law-abiding citizen.

Orangeone

It's really easy. You go to court, the judge approves your name change, you use the court order to change your SSN card, driver's license, college records (hint on Barky!) I don't know when she did hers but background check including criminal, civil are required here.

So, is she gonna pay up, or is daddy Al gonna step up? OH! I forgot, Al doesn't pay his bills, either...NAACP? NOPE...they stiff people all the time.

You know, its amazing. When we got a letter from the IRS, saying…Immediate response needed…balance due - because of recalculation…even if it was just 40.00 or it is was 1000.00 we at once called them to find out what the problem was and then sent the check.

Its not like they aren't "happy" to take payments- or installments.

People like Sharpton, preach that taxes should be higher, but he just wants other people to pay them.

People need to look into Sharpton's past deeds for any remaining possibility of actionable criminal prosecution, or lawsuits. The Duke lacrosse boys should be all over this one. Sharpton is know to be responsible for inciting a riot that lead to criminal homicide.

Liberals misuse the law to hurt the People. Its high time the People use those laws to punish these out of control liberals.

This type of person never pays up. It's too easy for them to disappear, grab a new identity and suck up government entitlements. And then you have people like Sharpton, who can flaunt it in the public eye and never have to be responsible for their own actions.

There's always somebody in the background ready and willing to cover for them - both financially and politically.

Maybe she'll replace Stephen Chu!

Luckily because she defrauded the person, she will not be able to use bankruptcy to not pay it. WIN-WIN.

I'd say that justice was finally served, but I'm sure that she'll just quit working and go on welfare, or something. And, Yazz55, I agree with you that Sharpton should've been slapped with an equal suit for his role in accelerating racial tensions, knowing all along it was a LIE!

She likely will have a sudden workplace injury, sue the hospital and donate it all to Barky's nonprofit for redistribution back to her, less some "fees"

I shall happily do so! Thinking like a taxpaying Conservative, we taxpayers will get stuck with paying for her again! You do realize we the people paid those court costs for the criminal case, right? I wonder why the gov't didn't go after her for those costs.
