Presidential hopeful Donald Trump denied allegations that he raped a woman during her teens and gave her threats to keep her from going public. Trump called allegations "categorically false" and could be politically motivated.
A woman filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump in Central District Court of California for allegedly raping her and making her do sexual acts to him during her teens. As reported by Heavy, the woman named Katie Johnson stated that Trump made her "engage in various perverted and depraved sex acts by threatening physical harm to (Johnson) and her family."
Johnson also mentioned convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, who allegedly hosted the "party" where she and various other juveniles were made to perform sexual acts to its attendees by luring them with a promise of cash and modeling career.
According to Mirror, Johnson provided details of scenarios of her supposed series of underaged sexual parties. She said that Trump made her do him sexual favors and raped her during the final sexual encounter. She claimed that the incident happened in June to September 1994 at the age of 13.
Epstein, who was named in the lawsuit, is a convicted sex offender. According to New York Daily News, Epstein pleaded guilty to hiring underage hookers in 2008 and spent a year and a month in prison. However, Trump maintained that the allegations pressed against him are false and could be a political ploy.
"The allegations are not only categorically false but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated," Trump said.
The lawsuit is not the first to be filed against Trump as his former wife, Ivana Zelníčková, also accused him of sexual assault during their divorce in 1991. However, Zelníčková eventually said that she did not want her words to be interpreted literally and demanded that the issue be put to rest.
