A former model has accused Donald Trump of unwanted sexual touching at Trump Tower in 1993, claiming the incident occurred after Jeffrey Epstein introduced them, allegations the former president’s campaign strongly denies.
Stacey Williams, 56, alleges Trump groped her breasts, waist and buttocks during a visit to Trump Tower arranged by Epstein in late winter or early spring of 1993.
Williams says she believed it was part of a “twisted game” between the two men.
The allegations emerged during a call organised by “Survivors for Kamala,” a group supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Williams provided evidence of a connection to Trump through a postcard of Mar-a-Lago allegedly sent to her agent, bearing the message “Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald” in what appears to be Trump’s signature style.
Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the accusations, calling them “unequivocally false” and suggesting they were “contrived by the Harris campaign” two weeks before the election.
Two friends of Williams corroborated that she had previously disclosed the alleged incident to them – one in 2005-2006 and another in 2015.
Williams says she initially avoided coming forward to protect her privacy and shield her family from potential backlash.
The allegations add to approximately two dozen sexual misconduct accusations against Trump spanning decades.
Last year, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing columnist E Jean Carroll in 1996, resulting in a $5 million judgment.
Trump’s relationship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, included social connections throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, though no evidence has emerged that Trump was aware of Epstein’s criminal activities.
