A woman has accused U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of “attempted rape” almost 20 years ago.
According to makeup artist Jill Harth in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian, she met Trump in 1992 at his office when she and her partner went to discuss a pageant business called American Dream Calendar Girls. But Trump started asking her unrelated, personal questions, she said. He groped her legs under the table at a dinner once and even pushed her to a bedroom, she said.
“He sexually assaulted me from the first day we met,” Harth said.
She accused Trump of “attempted rape” in 1997, but Trump said in May her claims were “meritless.”
Branded as a liar, Harth decided to speak out about the details of how Trump allegedly sexually assaulted her.
She said she is expecting an apology from him.
