More allegations of predatory sexual behaviour have been levelled at the presidential candidate, this time by an ex-Sports Illustrated model, actress and girlfriend of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
Former model Stacey Williams has come forward with allegations that former US president Donald Trump groped her at his New York penthouse. She claims the incident occurred in the 1990s while her then-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein, who had introduced them, looked on.
Williams recounted the alleged incident during a call on October 21 organised by Survivors for Kamala, a group of sexual and gender-based violence survivors backing Vice-President Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential race.

In response, Trump’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, dismissed the claims as “unequivocally false”, suggesting they were fabricated by the Harris campaign in the lead-up to the election.
Williams’ claim adds to the growing list of sexual harassment allegations against the Republican candidate. It also raises troubling questions about Trump’s relationship with late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
