A former model has accused Donald Trump of groping her during a 1993 visit to Trump Tower in New York City after they were introduced by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Stacey Williams told U.K. publication The Guardian she believed the groping was part of a “twisted game” between Trump and Epstein that made her feel “like a piece of meat.”
Representatives from the Trump campaign denied the allegations and accused his political rival, U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris, of inventing the story in an attempt to sabotage Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
Williams, 56, made the allegations against Trump, 78, on Monday during a phone call organized by the group Survivors for Kamala, a coalition of advocacy organizations and people who have faced sexual abuse and gender discrimination.
Williams said she’d briefly dated Epstein in the early 1990s. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, allegedly introduced Williams to Trump at a Christmas party in 1992. She said Trump and Epstein appeared to be “really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together.”
While out on a walk in New York City in 1993, Williams said Epstein suggested paying Trump a visit at Trump Tower.
Upon meeting, Williams said Trump touched “all over my breasts, my waist, my butt” without her consent. She said she was “deeply confused” by the interaction and alleged Trump and Epstein smiled at each other throughout the groping.
She said Epstein “berated” her after the interaction and demanded to know why she’d allowed Trump to touch her.
“He made me feel so disgusting and I remember being so utterly confused,” she recalled. “I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated.”
