as in complaints BY Wasilla victims complaining, then shes got some explaining to do as this could not have escaped her notice, I find the wording curious, is he saying that Wasilla victims complained or complaints 'regards' a state wide basis?
Forgive me if I am not exactly buying everything Knowles says, he is after all not an unbias source.
As I said, in the next few days I am sure we'll see more if there’s more to see.

I'd agree that Knowles is not an unbiased source as he was a Democrat governor; however, the dispute can be confirmed as accurate because of the original reporting of the event back in 2000 when he signed the law to stop what was going on in Wasilla, and Wasilla's opposition to that law, and their respective supportive and objecting positions on that law:
: Knowles signs sexual assault bill - Frontiersman
That's the article in the local Wasilla area news at that time.
There is no way Knowles could have 'fixed' this against Palin for today because it happened in 2000, he was the AK Governor then and Palin was the Wasilla town mayor then. Neither Knowles nor Palin would have known or foreseen that she would now, in 2008, be the VP nominee. Some things just are what they are, and it's the case here.
