Four women have come forward to accuse Donald Trump of trying to touch them inappropriately without their consent.
The New York Times claims to have spoken to two women who say they were victims of the Republican nominee in two separate incidents that took place in 1980 and another in 2005.
Trump's campaign denied the accusations, saying they are 'fiction' and 'completely false'.

Three women have claimed Donald Trump tried to touch them inappropriately without consent

Jessica Leeds, a 74-year-old former businesswoman who lives in Manhattan, told the newspaper she was 'assaulted' by Trump on a flight when she was 38.
Leeds explained how she was sat beside Trump in first class on a flight, when the Republican nominee lifted the arm-rest between then and allegedly began touching her.

'He was like an octopus,' she told the Times. 'His hands were everywhere.'
Leeds, who told the newspaper the incident 'was an assault', said she rushed to the back of the plane to escape Trump's advances.


[h=3]DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN STATEMENT DENYING THE ALLEGATIONS [/h]This entire article is fiction, and for the New York Times to launch a completely false, coordinated character assassination against Mr Trump on a topic like this is dangerous.
To reach back decades in an attempt to smear Mr Trump trvializes sexual assault, and it sets a new low for where the media is willing to go in its efforts to determine this election.
It is absurd to think that one of the most recognizable business leaders on the planet with a strong record of empowering women in his companies would do the things alleged in this story, and for this to only become public decades later in the final month of a campaign for president should say it all.
Further, The Times story buries the pro-Clinton financial and social media activity on behalf of Hillary Clinton's candidacy, reinforcing that this is truly nothing more than a political attack. This is a sad day for the Times.'
-- Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor


The second woman the newspaper claims was touched inappropriately by Trump is Rachel Crooks.
Crooks was a 22-year-old working as a receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate company based in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she says Trump kissed her on the mouth without permission while in an elevator in 2005.
'It was so inappropriate,' Ms. Crooks told the New York Times. 'I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that.'
Crooks told the newspaper the incident took place after she shook hands with Trump in an elevator and he allegedly refused to let go. She says he then began kissing her on the cheeks, before then kissing her lips.

Trump furiously denied the allegations when approached by a journalist for the Times.
'None of this ever took place,' he shouted at the reporter, according to the paper, before telling the journalist they are a 'disgusting human being'.
A third woman also accused the Republican presidential nominee, saying she was groped by Trump 13 years ago at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
Mindy McGillivray, 36, told the Palm Beach Post that Trump grabbed her backside after she helped a photographer who was covering a concert at Trump's Palm Beach manor.

McGillivray, who was 23 at the time, said she was with Ken Davidoff at the Mar-a-Lago on January 24, 2003.
'All of a sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it’s Ken’s camera bag, that was my first instinct,' she told the newspaper. 'I turn around and there’s Donald. He sort of looked away quickly.'
McGillivray told the newspaper she became furious when she saw Trump claim during the second presidential debate that he had never groped a woman inappropriately, and immediately began to consider sharing her story.
'It’s a respect issue for all women. If something like this happens to you, you should speak up,' she said, according to the Palm Beach Post.

She also admitted to the newspaper she has a lengthy criminal record, and understands that it will likely be brought up in the wake of her making the allegations against Trump.
McGillivray has two felony arrests, and was arrested on DUI and child neglect charges in 2012.
The fourth woman to claim Trump acted inappropriately towards her was Cassandra Searles, a former Miss USA contestant, who did so earlier this year only to have her claim highlighted in the wake of Wednesday's allegations.
Searles, who won Miss Washington in 2013, shared a picture of the other models who took part in the Trump-owned pageant in 2013 on Facebook and included a caption saying the Republican nominee treated them 'like cattle'.

'He probably doesn’t want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my a** and invited me to his hotel room,' she said, according to Yahoo News

'Do y’all remember that one time we had to do our onstage introductions, but this one guy treated us like cattle and made us do it again because we didn’t look him in the eyes?' she wrote in June, according to Yahoo News.
'Do you also remember when he then proceeded to have us lined up so he could get a closer look at his property?.
'Oh I forgot to mention that guy will be in the running to become the next President of the United States.'
Searles took her comments a step further replying to a comment on the picture, claiming Trump groped her and tried to seduce her.

Trump was recorded on a hot mic making this shocking remark about being able to do 'whatever (he wanted)' to women

'He probably doesn’t want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my a** and invited me to his hotel room,' she said, according to Yahoo News.
Hillary Clinton's campaign condemned the behavior described in the latest allegations, saying it shows a pattern.
'This disturbing story sadly fits everything we know about the way Donald Trump has treated women,' communications director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement.
'These reports suggest that he lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he bragged about in the tape is more than just words.'
The accusations come after Trump was caught on a hot mic in 2005 bragging about being able to get away with forcing himself on women due to his celebrity and status.
'You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful - I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,' he was heard saying in the recording published by the Washington Post last Friday.
'And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything.'

SB, listen carefully, because you'll probably never hear these words from me again:

WELL DONE!

As for the allegations, I must say, I am shocked...SHOCKED that women are coming out accusing Mr. Trump.:nohead:Shush()*:missingte

Donald Trump has been a rich star for decades. If this were true they would have cashed in on this years ago. azzkick(&^

Whoops, looks like I have to rescind my compliment(kinda like the 90 or so GOP people with their endorsement, huh?): you CAN'T be that stupid!!! Does the name Bill Cosby mean anything to you?!?! Right about now, he is probably speed dialing 'ole Bill wailing, "Hook a honky UP, who is your lawyer?!?!" If you had asked me who I admired the most in the entertainment field, for decades, I'd have answered BC, generous contributions to his alma mater, Temple, seemed like an all around good guy, but the moment I saw the sheer number of women coming outta the woodwork, I knew he was screwed-the odds of all those women lying and HIM being the Shining Beacon of Truth...c'mon(same thing for Armstrong). I am troubled by some of the women waiting, literally, 30 years, to accuse him but I'm very much aware of the way women who make such accusations are often themselves turned into the villain-the way you're doing in this very thread. This is kinda like getting a personal foul penalty in the NFL when you're down 24-0 late in the 4th quarter, but, every little bit helps, lol.

You Repubs SURE know hot to pick 'em...:nohead:hno::missingtecheersgif

Here we go. Nothing said before but now suddenly they start

Juanita Broaddrick (born December 13, 1942)[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] is a former nursing home administrator from Arkansas. She alleged in 1999 that United States President Bill Clinton raped her in April 1978 when she was 35 years old and he was Arkansas Attorney General. President Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, denied the allegations on his client's behalf. Clinton declined to comment further on the issue.
Rumors circulated about Broaddrick's allegations for many years, but she refused to speak to the media. In a sworn statement in 1997 with the placeholder name "Jane Doe #5,"[SUP][1][/SUP] Broaddrick filed an affidavit with Paula Jones' lawyers stating there were unfounded rumors and stories circulating "that Mr. Clinton had made unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies... These allegations are untrue".[SUP][2][/SUP]
Nevertheless, rumors that Broaddrick had more to say on the matter persisted. Finally, in an interview with Dateline NBC that aired on February 24, 1999, Broaddrick told her story in public in full for the first time, this time claiming that she had indeed been raped by Clinton.[SUP][3][/SUP] It is the most serious of the claims in the Bill Clinton sexual misconduct allegations.

Donald Trump's lawyers demand retraction for 'reckless, defamatory' article profiling sexual misconduct allegations



Lawyers representing Donald Trump sent a letter to The New York Times early Thursday, demanding a retraction for a story that profiled women accusing him of various forms of sexual misconduct.
The letter, which was addressed to The Times' executive editor Dean Baquet, was also published online and emailed to reporters by the Trump campaign.
"Your article is reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel," read the letter, which was signed by Marc E. Kasowitz. "It is apparent from, among other things, the timing of your article, that it is nothing more than a politically motivated effort to defeat Mr. Trump's candidacy."
Trump is the Republican Party's nominee for president.
Trump's lawyers threatened to "pursue all available actions and remedies" if The Times fails to comply with the retraction demand.
