A woman filed a federal lawsuit in New York on Monday alleging that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump raped her in 1994 before threatening to harm her and her family if she talked, the Gothamist reported.

According to the woman, identified in court documents as “Jane Doe,” she met Trump at several parties in the Upper East Side thrown by billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

The suit alleges Trump and Epstein lured the then 13-year-old and several other young women to the parties with promises of modeling careers and cash.

According to the allegations, Trump tied her to a bed and exposed himself and raped her, while ignoring her pleas to stop. The suits states Trump “responded … by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.”

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen 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. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

1. Finally! This story has been around for awhile....

I hope there is enough credibility to damage trump forever. Might be a high hurdle though:

"Doe’s attorneys must now convince a federal judge to waive New York’s five-year statute of limitation on civil rape cases because she felt her “freedom of will” to speak was being denied by the threats of retaliation."

What the F is a "civil" rape case? She was a minor.

4. I doubt it

Since CSI and other shows, people want DNA and other proof. I can see him pulling some proof he was in another city or something. With the resources he has, no way will this end him. I don't want him damaged anyway. I don't want him replaced. Hilary will beat him. Another GOP? No guarantees.

11. Trump is a sick man he also talked about sex with his daughter

[niyad]

16. and wondered what kind of "rack" another daughter would have growing up.

can you imagine any dem saying something like that and not being vilified forever?

6. What's so "civil" about rape, anyway - Axl Rose

"What the F is a "civil" rape case? She was a minor. "

This is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal case. Thus, "civil" rape and a tighter SOL.

2. If this is true (NOT SAYING IT'S NOT!)

Wouldn't this give the GOP a valid reason to dump him as the presumtive nominee ASAP?

[harrose]

34. No. The Rethugs favor and love rapists.

See Duggar, Josh, for starters.

[yeoman6987]

36. Don't forget Lena dunum. She along with Elizabeth hasslebeck are favorite of the GOP

Lena molested her sister. Elizabeth didn't but she is airy like most GOP.

[leeroysphitz]

3. A 22 year old case is often a pretty hard thing to prosecute. Just sayin'

We'll see.

[LynneSin]

10. Yet all those women were able to sue Bill Cosby after 10-20 years

It took one woman to step forward with her claims against Cosby for the others to also make claims.

[SharonAnn]

15. No, "all" those women were not able to sue. Only one was. The others made accusations.

[LynneSin]

25. Still one managed

n/t

[rjsquirrel]

29. And no one is "prosecuting" it

It's a civil lawsuit, not a criminal indictment.

I give it slightly lower odds than a snowball in a pizza oven.

5. here is the goofy website that RipStory stole from

13. RipStory

Pegged.

7. Trump's long-time association with sex offender Epstein is no secret ...

yet it hasn't been a campaign issue. Odd ...

[getagrip_already]

18. because the dems don't use that stuff...

as a rule, and certainly not at the pres race level.

It will surface if there is substance that can go to trial or be investigated by a da.

[Auggie]

22. But neither did Cruz nor any special interest groups and any "Karl Roves" ...

honor among thieves (and sex offenders)?

[Scootaloo]

28. Well, Trump's not the only politician out there with an Epstein connection n/t

[Silver_Witch]

9. The rich and powerful do what they want.

No on cares until it is a person they want to destroy. Epstein is the friend to many powerful men and they ALL "play" together. Until forcing women and children to have sex is stopped this is what you can expect from men!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. ^. n/t

12. The victim filed a case earlier this year too

It was dismissed. And the actual court filing is available here:
http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/yes-donald-trump-was-accused-of-raping-a-13-year-old-but-this-lawsuit-has-little-chance-of-succeeding/

Trump was also accused of raping his wife. The personality he has exhibited publicly definitely is the personality of someone who views women as objects and as conquests, so this is definitely the type of behavior I would expect.

[Logical]

14. I have trouble believing this is true. nt

[MidwestTech]

21. how so?

not saying one way or another.
just curious what makes you doubt it?

[greiner3]

38. I can't find a smilie with a dollar sign or such

[corkhead]

17. I'll bet there are some republicons behind this coming up now.

Democrats I hope have enough sense to wait until after the convention to try to take him out

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. That was my first thought.

Oh, and nice avatar.

From every dingy basement, on every dingy street,
Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat,
It's just the beat of time, the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years, we've already heard your song

[Kurovski]

27. HA! A clothespin for the nose.

Yes indeedy-do.

[Bucky]

30. I'm pretty skeptical. OTOH Who better to suffer from a dishonest media smear campaign?

Trump dragged the entire Republican party into his flavor of gutter politics. The Frankenstein monster has now suffered from a Frankenstein monster of his own.

[unblock]

19. i fear this story for the clarence thomas effect

on the one hand, kudos to anita hill for coming forward and helping bring sexual harassment into the public consciousness. by and large the workplace has improved as a result.

however, the circus the resulted turned thomas' confirmation hearing into a verdict on his particular harassment case -- the bar for lifetime tenure on the highest court on the land was lowered all the way to "just so long as we can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you sexually harassed this person, the lifetime appointment is yours."

i wanted thomas rejected for his lack of experience and for the demonstrable fact that he was a right-wing hack, not a jurist. completely inappropriate for the supreme court. the media circus pushed all that aside.

i do *not* want a similar thing happening with trump!

[Helen Borg]

24. Oh wow, Epstein does it again!

[drray23]

26. why is it prosecuted as a civil case ?

If a rape was indeed committed, it should be a criminal case, especially for a 13 yr old.

[Bucky]

31. civil cases have a lower standard of proof than criminal

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. The DA would have to decide to prosecute

and they wouldn't prosecute unless they thought they had proof beyond a reasonable doubt. A civil case requires only a preponderance of the evidence. It's like the OJ Simpson case: he was acquitted but still held liable in a civil trial.

[Ilsa]

33. yet the RW christians like him, even though

He has three living wives (including 2 ex-wives),
Has stated he's never asked God for forgiveness,
Obviously doesn't know the Bible,
Lies about other people's faith and state of grace,
Is rascist,
Makes sexually inappropriate comments about women, even family,
Lies.

[Vinca]

35. Better keep in mind Bill Clinton was also an associate of Epstein.

[Galraedia]

39. Trump on Epstein:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen 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. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

40. It seems like everybody forgot about this..

This will go to trial on October 14th. If the media keeps pushing this story and covering the trial, it is over for trump.
