Donald Trump faces the prospect of a new round of sexual assault allegations after the Washington Post published an interview with a woman who claims she was groped by the Republican presidential nominee at a New York nightspot in the early 1990s.
Kristin Anderson, then a 20-something aspiring model who was at the club with friends, said the stranger sitting next to her on a red velvet sofa had reached up her skirt and touched her genitals through her underwear.
“He did touch my vagina through my underwear, absolutely,” Ms Anderson told the Post.
Only after she had shoved the man off and moved away did she turn to look at him closely. It was Donald Trump, she said. “He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.”
The incident was over in 30 seconds or less, Ms Anderson, now 46, told the newspaper. “It wasn’t a sexual come-on. I don’t know why he did it. It was like just to prove that he could do it, and nothing would happen,” she said, adding: “There was zero conversation. We didn’t even really look at each other. It was very random, very nonchalant on his part.”
Ms Anderson recounted the story to friends over the years, but was persuaded to come forward publicly in recent days following similar accusations from several other women and the release of a 2005 tape in which Mr Trump could be heard bragging about sexual assault.
