UPDATED: Woman Who Says Donald Trump Raped Her When She Was 13 Cancels Press Conference, Citing Threats

Was to Start at 6 EDT

UPDATE: Canceled:

Attorney Lisa Bloom says she and her client will hold a press conference at 6:00 PM EDT. Bloom’s client has accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13, according to multiple reports and what Bloom identifies as court documents.

Bloom is the daughter of civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who has also represented at least one woman who has accused Trump of sexual assault.

“More than four months ago a woman using the pseudonym ‘Jane Doe’ sued Donald Trump for a series of sexual assaults that she alleges occurred at parties in New York in 1994. Jane Doe was just thirteen years old at the time,” a press release from Bloom states. “Jane Doe will break her silence today and speak out about her allegations.”

Back in June Bloom penned piece at The Huffington Post, “Why The New Child Rape Case Filed Against Donald Trump Should Not Be Ignored.”

Quartz today writes:

The media have, in fact, covered the story: The Guardian uncoveredthat lawsuits against Trump were being coordinated by a former TV producer who has been linked to other disputed claims involving celebrities; Jezebel reported that information about the alleged rape was being shopped around outlets in a somewhat shady way, and made the case that Jane Doe was the same person as Katie Johnson, who in April filed a lawsuit in California which was dismissed.

“Jane Doe’s” Wednesday appearance will be the first time she speaks out in public.

A federal judge in New York, has, however set a court date for Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire and convicted sex offender in whose home Trump is alleged to have raped the 13-year-old.

The Huffington Post today, in “Donald Trump Is Accused Of Raping A 13-Year-Old. Why Haven’t The Media Covered It?” notes the fact that the accuser has remained anonymous has been a major stumbling block. That may change today.

Raw Story has posted the live feed, which appears to be CNN. You can watch it here:

The link Bloom posted, which is her law firm’s website, has been down, although as of this writing it is up. 

And the actual court complaint is here. Details are, needless to say extremely disturbing.
