Woman suing Trump for child rape cancels plan to speak publicly due to death threats
Woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her at 13 years old cancels her plan to go public
A woman who is suing Donald Trump for raping her as a child abandoned her plan to speak publicly on Wednesday, citing death threats. The woman, known by the pseudonym Jane Doe, hid from media who were invited to her lawyer’s Los Angeles office for a press conference in which she was expected to reveal her identity. Instead her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras. “Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further," said Bloom. Hours earlier Lisa Bloom, a prominent attorney, stoked such anticipation with the announced press conference that her firm’s website crashed. With just six days to the election and polls showing a tightening race the stakes could scarcely be higher. The anticlimax was the latest twist to the explosive claim that the Republican presidential nominee raped Jane Doe in 1994 when she was 13 years old. Jane Doe has alleged the casino owner Trump assaulted her on four occasions at parties in New York. A civil lawsuit is slated for an an initial status conference in a New York district court on 16 December. With Lisa Bloom coming on board Jane Doe appeared – until the press conference fiasco – to have acquired considerable additional legal and media firepower. The federal lawsuit alleged Trump sexually assaulted Jane Doe in 1994 at a Manhattan home and at other parties on the Upper East Side. Judge Ronnie Abrams has ordered counsel for Trump to appear in his New York district court along with Jane Doe’s legal team for an initial status conference on 16 December. That raises the extraordinary prospect, were Trump to win the election, of counsel for a US president-elect being called into federal court in proceedings relating to allegations of rape of an underage girl. The court order gives no details of the legal complaint raised by “Jane Doe”. It instructs all parties in the case to set out in advance the nature of the allegations and the “principal defenses”, as well as any previous motions and discovery as well as the “estimated length of trial." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...s-public-event |

Well, if this mysterious person filed a lawsuit, it must be true. Who would make something up just for money or to influence an election?
It will be interesting to see if anyone shows up in court on Dec. 16th. Yeah, I know. "Death threats." And the election will be over by then, so no more checks from DNC. |

The controversy over a lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old girl, explained
Trump really is facing a lawsuit for child rape. But the anonymous plaintiff has been elusive, and the circumstances around the lawsuit are bizarre Johnson’s case has been promoted to the media in truly bizarre, suspicious ways An earlier lawsuit Johnson filed against Trump was somewhat fishy The lawsuit makes horrifying allegations against both Trump and celebrity pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Johnson claims that Trump violently raped her when she was 13 years old at a 1994 orgy hosted by Jeffrey Epstein — the billionaire who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and has been accused of having sex with more than 30 underage girls. Johnson’s lawsuit mentions Trump’s friendship with Epstein, and a comment Trump made in 2002 about their respective tastes in women: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Sexual assault has become an unexpected flashpoint in the 2016 election Trump has denied all of the charges against him. But he’s also tried to attack Hillary Clinton by parading around several women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct, and arguing that there’s a double standard in attacking Trump on those grounds without also attacking Bill. Some of the allegations against Bill Clinton are more credible than others. But by making those allegations an issue at all, Trump makes himself more vulnerable to attacks based on allegations about his own behavior — even sketchier claims like Johnson’s.
