Shelton later posted several tweets, slamming Clinton.
“I don’t care if Trump said gross things. I care that Hillary Clinton lied, terrorized & mocked me, defending my rapist,” reads one.

“Hillary Clinton an advocate for women & children? Not even close,” reads another. “She terrorized me during my rape case & later laughed about it.”

“Hillary Clinton is a cold-hearted liar. The lies she told about me, 12 yr old rape victim, traumatized me nearly as much as the rape itself,” Shelton tweeted.

The Daily Mail was the first to interview Shelton in August:
A child rape victim says she cannot forgive Hillary Clinton for defending her rapist in court 40 years ago, saying the Democratic presidential candidate attacked her credibility despite knowing that her assailant was guilty – and later laughed about it in a taped interview.
Kathy Shelton was just 12 years old when a 41-year-old drifter raped her on the side of a desolate Arkansas road in 1975. …
In 1975, Clinton served as the defense lawyer for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old factory worker accused of raping Shelton after luring her to his car.
Taylor pleaded down to ‘unlawful fondling of a minor’ and served less than a year in prison after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime.
“During the case, Clinton accused the 12-year-old of ‘seek[ing] out older men’ and ‘engag[ing] in fantasizing’ in court affidavits, and later laughed while discussing aspects of the case in a recently-unearthed audiotape from the 1980s,” the Daily Mail reports.
“It’s put a lot of anger back in me,’ Shelton told the news site. “Every time I see [Clinton] on TV I just want to reach in there and grab her, but I can’t do that.”
The Washington Free Beacon unearthed the audio recording from a university archives.
The site reported:
Hillary Clinton joked about the guilt of an accused child rapist she defended in court, according to long-buried audio recordings from the 1980s that were first published in 2014.
During a taped interview with Arkansas reporter Roy Reed in the 1980s, Clinton can be heard laughing at several points while recounting her legal defense of Thomas Alfred Taylor, the 41-year-old man who was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1975.
‘I had [Taylor] take a polygraph. Which he passed – which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,’ said Clinton, chuckling.
