Trump accused of sexual assault by former model
A former model has accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at the 1997 US Open tennis tournament, saying that the incident left her feeling “sick” and “violated”.
Amy Dorris alleged that the US president, who was 51 at the time, assaulted her outside the bathroom in his VIP box at the New York tournament. She was 24.
“He just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off. And then that’s when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything,” Ms Dorris, 48, told the newspaper.”
“I was in his grip, and I couldn’t get out of it,” she said. “I don’t know what you call that when you’re sticking your tongue just down someone’s throat. But I pushed it out with my teeth. I was pushing it. And I think I might have hurt his tongue.”
