President Kennedy 'took virginity of intern'

[1]

Then US president John F. Kennedy took the virginity of a White House intern in a side room a few feet away from where staffers were drinking at an after-work party, the Daily Mail Sunday quoted a new book as saying.

Mimi Alford, now a 69-year-old grandmother, related how Kennedy led her into 'Mrs Kennedy's room' during a personal tour, where he proceeded to have sex with her.

The retired New York church administrator's tell-all memoir also details how, during a passionate 18-month affair with Kennedy, he told her to perform a sex act on his friend as he watched.

And she claims the then 45-year-old Kennedy also stuffed party-drug amyl nitrate, more commonly known as poppers, under her nose after telling her it would enhance their sex life.

But during their romance, she said he never properly kissed her and that she was often forced to play 'a waiting game' as to when she would see him.

Alford's book Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F Kennedy and Its Aftermath tells the story of when the 19-year-old debutante from New Jersey landed a job in the White House press office.

It was just four days into her internship that she was invited for a midday swim in the White House pool, where Kennedy exercised to ease his chronic back pain, and where they spoke briefly, the Mail said.

Later that day, she was invited by his best friend Dave Powers to an after-work party.

After drinking several cocktails, Kennedy took her on a 'personal tour', where she says he moved 'closer and closer' until he was standing above her, guiding her onto the edge of a bed.
