New Allegation of Sexual Assault: Woman Says Donald Trump Groped Her in NYC Nightclub
More Than a Dozen Women Since Wednesday Have Told Their Stories of Trump’s Inappropriate Behavior
A California photographer says Donald Trump groped her in the early 1990’s in a New York City nightclub. The Washington Post reports “Kristin Anderson was deep in conversation with acquaintances at a crowded Manhattan nightspot and did not notice the figure to her right on a red velvet couch — until, she recalls, his fingers slid under her miniskirt, moved up her inner thigh, and touched her vagina through her underwear.”
At the time, Anderson was an aspiring model working as a makeup artist and restaurant hostess. She says there’s no doubt it was  Trump: “He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.â€
She told her friends who were with her and who “were ‘very grossed out and weirded out’ and thought, ‘Okay, Donald is gross. We all know he’s gross. Let’s just move on,'” the Post reports.
EARLIER:Â Over the Past 24 Hours 12 Women Have Come Forward to Accuse Donald Trump of Inappropriate Behavior
At least a dozen other women since Wednesday have come forward to share their stories of inappropriate behavior by Trump. Some have accused the Manhattan real estate magnate of walking in to dressing rooms while contestants of both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA were in various states of undress, some completely naked. Others have accused Trump of sexual assault, groping, and unwanted kissing.
The Trump campaign denies all allegations, including the ones made by Anderson.Â
“Mr. Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity. It is totally ridiculous,†Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Washington Post in an email.
