Pretrial Conference for Donald Trump Rape Lawsuit Delayed

Proceedings in a civil suit against Donald Trump alleging he raped a 13-year-old girl have been adjourned for a month.

Proceedings in a federal lawsuit filed in New York, accusing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl over 20 years ago at several Upper East Side parties hosted by convicted sex offender and notorious billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein, have been delayed.

According to the court docket, the date of an initial pretrial conference has been pushed back a month because the plaintiff has not yet filed affidavits of service:

An initial pretrial conference is presently scheduled for September 9, 2016 in this action. Plaintiff, however, has not yet filed affidavits of service confirming that Defendants have been served with copies of the summons and complaint. In order to allow Plaintiff the full amount of time authorized by Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to serve Defendants and to allow Defendants the full amount of time authorized by Rule 12(a) to respond to the complaint in advance of the initial pretrial conference, the conference shall be adjourned until October 14, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. Initial Conference set for 10/14/2016 at 10:00 AM before Judge Ronnie Abrams.

Papers filed in 2006 state that Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places in his property to record sex between prominent people and underage prostitutes for criminal purposes such as blackmail.[21]

The attorney for a complainant identified as “Katie Johnson,” who has accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13-years-old, announced that he was filing to dismiss the suit on Friday. Thomas Meagher, the attorney, also said that a new complaint would be filed and that “an additional witness” would be identified. It’s unclear why they wanted the case dismissed.

They won't be able to just pay off one person who was raped at 13.
