Donald Trump Faces Fresh Sexual Assault Allegation, Ex-Model Claims He 'Groped' Her 31 Years Ago

A former model has accused Donald Trump of groping and inappropriately touching her during an incident at Trump Tower in 1993.

Stacey Williams, who said she was introduced to the former president by the late Jeffrey Epstein, suggested that the incident was part of a "twisted game" between the two men.

Williams, who worked as a professional model in the 1990s, first met Trump at a Christmas party in 1992, following an introduction by Epstein, with whom she was casually dating at the time.

"It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together," Williams told The Guardian.

The Alleged Incident

Williams stated that the alleged assault took place when she and Epstein stopped by Trump Tower while out for a walk in the late winter or early spring of 1993. Williams, now 56, claimed that upon their arrival, Trump greeted her, pulled her towards him, and began to grope her.

She alleged that Trump placed his hands "all over my breasts," as well as on her waist and buttocks. Williams recalled feeling frozen and "deeply confused" during the encounter, even noting that she believed Trump and Epstein exchanged a smile.

Donald Trump's campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, denied the allegations, releasing a statement that read: "These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It's obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign."

Williams also claimed that later in 1993, Trump sent a postcard via courier to her agent, showing an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago. *The Guardian* confirmed the postcard was written in Trump's handwriting using his signature black Sharpie, which read: "Stacey - Your home away from home. Love Donald."

'I Felt Shame and Disgust'

Williams, originally from Pennsylvania, had previously shared parts of her story on social media. On Monday, October 21, she elaborated on the alleged incident during a Zoom call organised by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports Kamala Harris. Present on the call were actor Ashley Judd, law professor and academic Anita Hill, among others.

Williams recounted how, after leaving Trump Tower with Epstein, she began to sense his anger. "Jeffrey and I left, and he didn't look at me or speak to me, and I felt this seething rage around me. When we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and just berated me, and said: 'Why did you do that?'" she recalled during the Zoom call.

"He made me feel so disgusting, and I remember being utterly confused," she added, believing the incident to be part of a "twisted game."

"I felt shame and disgust, and as we went our separate ways, I had this sensation of revisiting it while the hands were all over me. I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated. I felt like a piece of meat," Williams shared in her interview with *The Guardian*.

Williams and Epstein eventually parted ways, and she stressed that she had no knowledge of his later-revealed pattern of sexual abuse.

She explained that she did not come forward earlier because she wanted to avoid negative attention and the backlash faced by other victims. "I left the business. I disappeared on purpose because I love being anonymous and I love my life of being a private citizen. Then I watched what happened to women who come out, and it is so horrifying and abusive. The thought of doing that, especially as a mother with a child in my house, was just not possible."

"I chose, in my own way, to make comments on social media to contradict people who said he didn't do anything," she added.

Two of Williams' friends corroborated her claims, saying that she had shared the incident with them in the past. One friend recalled hearing about the incident in 2005 or 2006, while another long-time friend, Ally Gutwillinger, said Williams told her in 2015.

Gutwillinger recounted that Williams had spoken about the incident shortly after Trump announced his candidacy for president.

"I went to her house sometime in that week, and I saw a postcard of Mar-a-Lago, and I said: 'What's this?' and she said: 'Turn it over.' She said something like: 'He's vile, he groped me in Trump Tower.'"
