The Trump - Epstein Rape Lawsuit

By Michael Collins

December 16th, 2016, is the date of the pretrial conference for Jane Doe versus Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Doe alleges confinement, rape, and other crimes and seeks relief. Win or lose, Trump will be in court facing serious charges with a long sentence.

Donald Trump's post election experience may be as bad or worse than the nightmare he hopes to visit on Hillary Clinton; perhaps worse.

Jane Doe (proceeding under a pseudonym) filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump and convicted sex offender, Jeremy Epstein, for multiple acts of sexual and physical abuse, which occurred when the defendant was 13 years old. Specifically, the plaintiff charged the defendants with:

"Rape, sexual misconduct, criminal sexual acts, sexual abuse, forcible touching, assault, battery, intentional, and reckless inflection of emotional distress, duress, false imprisonment, and defamation." Jane Doe v. Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein.

Judge Ronnie Abrams scheduled a December 16, 2016, pretrial conference to set a timeline for the case in the U.S District Court, Southern District in Manhattan.

The complaint argues for the use of Jane Doe rather than the plaintiff's actual name: "This litigation involves matters that are highly sensitive and of a personal nature, and identification of Plaintiff would pose a risk of retaliatory physical harm to her and to others."

The heart of Jane Doe's complaint is summarized below:

"Plaintiff was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of parties, with other similarly situated minor females, held at a New York City residence that was being used by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein.

"Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant 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. Exhs. A and B." Jane Doe v. Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein.

The complaint against Epstein describes behavior similar to that of Trump.

Epstein -- a convicted sex offender

Palm Beach, Florida, investigators produced a probable-cause affidavit in 2006 that documented Jeffrey Epstein's "unlawful sexual activity with" 4 minors and "lewd and lascivious molestation." The crimes took place at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion where he entertained lavishly.

Epstein hired Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershhowitz and former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr as his defense team. Even though FBI and other investigations accumulated a victim list of 40 underage girls in Florida, the case was settled in 2008 when Epstein pleaded guilty to one count of soliciting prostitution from underage girls. He was sentenced to 18 months, served 13, and had to register as a risk level 3-sex offender in New York (the highest level).

Trump -- brags about close friendship with Epstein

Before Epstein's legal problems, Trump did a 2002 interview in New York Magazine in which he described a long-term relationship with Epstein.

"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life." New York Magazine

Trump had Epstein at a guest at his Florida mansion and Epstein had Trump as a guest as his estates in Florida and New York.

Will the case go forward if Trump wins the election?

If the case is not dismissed, the scheduling conference on the December 16 will outline various tasks and dates over the first few months of 2017, including the dates for the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States. If that happens to be Donald Trump, there is nothing to prevent the trial from going forward. The Supreme Court decision in the Bill Clinton -- Paula Jones case established the right of citizens to sue presidents in civil court for acts committed prior to taking office.

If the case moves forward, the evidence in the exhibits and subsequent information, the quality of representation at trial, and the judge and jury are the central factors that will determine if a sitting president or losing presidential candidate will do some serious time for the heinous crimes alleged. Unlike the original Epstein case, the visibility for this matter is so high, backroom deals for the rich and famous will be virtually impossible.

UPDATE:

PoliticoWoman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again By Josh Gerstein 11/04/16 07:03 PM EDT Updated 11/04/16 10:04 PM ED

A woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago when she was a 13-year-old aspiring teen model has again dropped a federal lawsuit over the alleged assaults.

The accuser, identified in the lawsuit by the pseudonym "Jane Doe," was expected to appear at a news conference in Los Angeles Wednesday, but that appearance was abruptly canceled.

Bloom did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.

Through his attorney, Trump had flatly denied the woman's allegations.
