Donald Trump accused of raping 13-year-old girl in new lawsuit

A case recently filed in federal court accuses Donald Trump of sexual assault, battery and a number of other offences against a 13-year-old girl.

On June 20th of this year, the filing brought forward by 'Jane Doe' names Donald Trump and American financier Jeffrey Epstein as having committed rape, criminal sexual acts, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, forcible touching, assault, battery and false imprisonment.

Four separate attacks

The filing claims that Trump raped the then 13-year-old girl in 1994 on four separate occasions. It also states that when the plaintiff tried to stop the assault on the fourth occasion, Trump struck her.

The plaintiff also alleges that Trump said another 12-year-old girl called 'Maria' had complained about the assaults, and soon after she 'disappeared'.

there is a corroboratory witness, too, named as Tiffany Doe

I still can't believe the MSM is not TOUCHING this story.

they've already trotted out all the old Clinton 'rape' BS, with the usual names being named

I so want to see this now thirty fivish year old woman get out on the airwaves, just as Juanita Broaddrick, and see if her story is convincing

They won't go there and neither will Hillary.

it's only guilt by association, and his name has already been bandied about wrt the Epstein connection.

And....since when have the media had the slightest compunction about dragging either of the Clintons into the mud without ANY justification? that's not the reason they're not touching it. there's a much simpler, more direct explanation, which should be obvious.

where these rapes are said to have taken place.

That info came from Fox news, but I don't know why they'd print exculpatory info about Bill if it weren't true.

. . . and the asserted corroborating witnesses remain anonymous, there is little reason, I think, for the press to feel obliged to take notice of this. That's simply the reality of the thing, I'm afraid.
