#TrumpRapeCase = Trump’s Child-Rape Accuser Going Public

Happening now. Anyone have a feed?

Trump’s Child-Rape Accuser Going Public
Carlo Allegri/Reuters

The woman suing Donald Trump for alleged child rape will speak publicly on Wednesday afternoon, her lawyer announced. The woman accuses Trump of raping her at a 1994 sex party when she was 13 years old. The party was allegedly at the home of Jeffrey Epstein, a sex offender who has pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from underage girls. The woman accuses Trump of raping her and violently striking her when she resisted. However, the woman has not previously come forward publicly, and previous communications with her legal team have been riddled with inconsistencies.

The woman will be making a public appearance with a new lawyer, Lisa Bloom, her law firm announced in a statement. (Bloom is the daughter of Gloria Allred, the high-powered feminist lawyer representing several of Trump’s sexual-harassment accusers.) They will make their appearance at 3 p.m. PT at the firm’s Los Angeles office. “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," the firm wrote on Wednesday. "Jane Doe was just thirteen years old at the time. Her operative amended federal court complaint is available here. The mainstream media has failed to cover the story... Jane Doe will break her silence today and speak out about her allegations.”

Over four yrs ago Romney said we were lazy etc. Kicked to the curb he was. Now a fraud,embezzler, women abuser, Treason committer. Is in the running. He told Russia to hack emails gee then what they were. Why in the almost 4yrs she has not been Sec of State did this absolute perversion of her Emails weren't addressed to this extent. Not til she decided to run. Trump's garbage AD's say how she hasn't done anything to change DC. Really who have been in majority in the house etc. Republicans. No one could get much done. They shut down our government, among other self serving agendas. Doing it again no regard for their constituents, the Supreme Courts appointments,if Hillary is elected. So afraid of a women in charge. Course men have done such a bang up job. Turn blind to fact what gender made this mess. No disrespect to those who have nothing to do with this Neanderthal thinking. My understanding Trump's commented, bankrupt,tax,school fraud. Told Russia to hack and gee hack . I'd call it Treason. His son said a little over 2wks ago his dad would win had ace up sleeve. Then emails magically appear from a seized computer. How did Trump and son know. Why is that not being questioned. This country can not endure this magnitude of self-serving,complete and total disregard of the people. He threatened that if he does not win chaos will abound. Since when do we allow blackmail. When did we allow us to be the joke of the world. Women are in the commander's seat in quite a few countries. Yet here the supposedly leader of the free world, the champion of women's rights, are the biggest abuser. Women are nothing. Wake up America. This is no joke.

either side on, they would be reporting Hillary killed 50 people and have their skulls on posts in the backyard.

You dont just report things because people say them. He may indeed be guilty, but you can't flood the airwaves with every accusation brought against both candidates. Can you even imagine what that would look like? The evening news would look more like twitter with 50 accusations a day flying by on both sides.

Trump’s Child Rape Victim Just Canceled Press Conference Over Death Threats
By Colin Taylor November 2, 2016

The woman accusing Trump of raping her when she was just thirteen years old at one of convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein’s notorious underage sex parties was all set to come forward tonight to tell her story – but backed out .................

.... The pressure to stay silent comes just as strong from the Trump camp itself – just look at how Michael Cohen, special counsel for the Trump Organization, responded to Daily Beast when they called asking for comment on a story about how Trump raped then-wife Ivana Trump in a painful and brutal fashion:

I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know. So I’m warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?”

“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet… you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it.’


Which begs the question, why so defensive if there is nothing to hide, Mr. Trump?

Donald Trump’s followers are some of the lowest, most hateful scum to ever tarnish American soil. Klansmen, neo-Nazis, white supremacists. They send death threats to anyone who dares to speak out against him – if you’re lucky. You could receive horrifying, personalized attacks like a Jewish writer for the National Review did: .................

The Rape Allegations Against Trump: If Jane Doe Breaks Her Silence, Will the Media Break Theirs?
Until the Access Hollywood video broke, TV news mostly ignored accusations against Trump.
By Leslie Savan Yesterday 5:55 pm

Update, 6:15 pm: Bloom announced that the press conference was canceled because of threats that Jane Doe has received today. Bloom says it will be rescheduled.

Once the Access Hollywood video revealed Donald Trump bragging that he likes to grab women “by the pussy,” the news media finally began to do their job and report on the women who’ve accused Trump of sexual misconduct over the years. As most everyone now knows, Trump has called these dozen or so accusers “liars” and threatened to sue them. But what voters don’t know, because most mainstream media have not informed them, is that one woman is currently suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her when she was 13. The case is scheduled for an initial hearing in a Manhattan federal court on December 16, well after the election.

“Jane Doe,” now 35, alleges that Trump and notorious convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her at four of Epstein’s parties at his Upper East Side mansion in 1994. At the fourth and last party she attended, she alleges, Trump raped her. In her complaint, she claims to have a witness to the rape, “Tiffany Doe,” who recruited young women to the parties with promises of money and a modeling career, and a school friend, “Joan Doe,” to whom she confided her story in the “1994-1995 school year.” The complaint also states that Trump told her that if she ever revealed what happened, “Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed.”

LOS ANGELES—A woman who has filed federal lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of repeatedly raping her two decades ago, when she was 13, abruptly canceled ....

... She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul raped her on several occasions, including one instance in which she says Trump tied her to a bed.

Attorney and legal commentator Lisa Bloom .... at the appointed hour, Bloom said the news conference was off.

"Jane Doe has received numerous threats today," Bloom told the assembled journalists and TV cameras. "She has decided she is too afraid to show her face... She is in terrible fear." ....

California woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 cancels press conference amid threats
BY Nancy Dillon, Leonard Greene NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Wednesday, November 2, 2016, 9:39 PM

.............

"Jane Doe has received numerous threats today, as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented,” said the woman’s attorney, Lisa Bloom.

“She is living in fear. She has decided that she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately, she's in terrible fear. So we're going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came."

............ Epstein is alleged to have preyed on dozens of underage girls in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in just one case in 2008.

But Bloom, the woman’s new lawyer said the case against Trump cannot be ignored. She has even launched a GoFundMe page to raise money to support Trump’s sexual assault accusers. ............
