Lawsuit Alleging Trump Raped 13-Year-Old Child Refiled in NY
------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as a case alleging Donald Trump raped a 13-year-old child
more than two decades ago has been refiled in a New York federal court.
The victim, identified only as Jane Doe, is being represented by Florida
criminal defense lawyer J. Cheney Mason, who rose to prominence after
successfully defending Casey Anthony over charges of killing her
daughter. The lawsuit alleges: "Trump tied plaintiff to a bed, exposed
himself to plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape plaintiff. …
Trump responded to plaintiff's pleas by violently striking plaintiff in
the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he
wanted." The lawsuit alleges Trump raped her at a party hosted by
billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who has been jailed on charges of
soliciting sex from a minor. Trump's lawyer has denied all the
allegations, saying they are "not only categorically false, but
disgusting."
