Donald Trump’s ‘Child Rape’ Accuser Drops Lawsuit



A woman who claimed Donald Trump sexually assaulted her at a party when she was 13 has dropped her civil lawsuit against the Republican presidential nominee.

The woman’s attorney, Lisa Bloom — the daughter of celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred — says her client, known as “Jane Doe,” requested that the lawsuit be dropped after she failed to appear for a scheduled press conference on Thursday. Bloom said the woman canceled coming forward because she feared for her safety.

New Jersey attorney Thomas Meagher filed the dismissal in a New York City court on Friday afternoon without much explanation. Bloom announced the change late Friday night on Twitter.

Doe filed the lawsuit in April, in both New York and Los Angeles. She claimed that when she was 13, around 1994, she was forced into sex slavery by Trump’s (and Bill Clinton’s) billionaire pal, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She alleged that she met Trump four times at Epstein’s Manhattan sex parties and that at one event, Trump propositioned her. When she refused, she claimed, he hit her in the face and then raped her.

Trump denies ever meeting Jane Doe and claims that his relationship with Epstein was purely professional (Bill Clinton’s relationship with Epstein was closer, with Clinton even traveling on Epstein’s private jet to his notorious island vacation home in the Caribbean). Doe’s case cited only a single, anonymous witness as support for her claims.

This is the third time Doe has dropped or lost a civil suit against Donald Trump. The first lawsuit, filed in local court in California under the name “Katie Johnson,” was dropped after Radar Online uncovered holes in “Johnson’s” personal story. The second lawsuit, the one filed in Los Angeles, was dismissed by a Federal judge in May for procedural matters. This third lawsuit, however, had been allowed to go forward by a judge, over the objections of Donald Trump’s lawyers. It had a hearing scheduled for December.

Trump’s lawyers have routinely called the lawsuit “frivolous” and without merit.
