Former model Amy Dorris alleges Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in 1997


In a Guardian exclusive, Dorris detailed the alleged encounter at the US Open where he "shoved his tongue" down her throat and his "hands were very gropey." The allegations have been denied through Trump's lawyers.

Dorris was 24 while Trump was 51 and married to his second wife, Marla Maples, at the time. Dorris said she spent several days with Trump in September 1997 after being taken to New York for a long weekend by her then boyfriend, Jason Binn.

Trump denied via his lawyers having ever harassed, abused or behaved improperly toward Dorris. Dorris, who lives in Florida, provided the Guardian with evidence to support her account of her encounters with Trump, including her ticket to the US Open and six photos showing her with the real estate magnate over several days in New York.

Her account was also corroborated by several people she confided in about the incident. They include a friend in New York and Dorris’s mother, both of whom she called immediately after the alleged incident, as well as a therapist and friends she spoke to in the years since.

All said Dorris had shared with them details of the alleged incident that matched what she later told the Guardian. Dorris, now 48 and a mother to twin daughters, said she had considered speaking publicly about the incident in 2016, when several women made public similar accusations against the then Republican candidate for president.
