A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday.

One of the accuser’s attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a one-page voluntary dismissal in district court in New York late on Friday. Neither he nor a second attorney listed immediately responded to questions about the document.

The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model.

This week she abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited “numerous threats” against her client.

“She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear,” Bloom said on Wednesday. Bloom’s mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.

Trump had been given a tentative court date for the civil lawsuit of 16 December and has denied all the accusations made against him.

After Doe’s suit was filed in June, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, told the Guardian the claims were “a complete fabrication”.

Can't say that I blame her. I thought she might have had a chance with two sworn eyewitnesses, but it's not worth it at this point.

Going up against President Trump, she's the rights Monica Lewinsky waiting to happen. Not surprised the GOP silenced her so quickly.

Never ask why women never report sexual assault on their beings. Because when they do, the fucking abusers get control of the White House.

Women voted for him. America voted for him.

Seriously. I hope this is a wake up call for a lot of men.

[QuantumBro]

She did this before the election last Friday.

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

still confused she didn't do this sooner

edit: I mean come forward with this situation

 

[Real Hero]

Imagine knowing the guy who raped you was voted in in as president, that's fucking horrible.

 

[Elandyll]

Didn't that happen like a week or more ago?

 

[skynidas]

this isn't new

 

[koji kabuto]

Can't really blame her, God knows what kind of harassment she will receive if she didn't drop the case, Hell im not even sure she will be safe now even after dropping the lawsuit.

No thread. And clearly people didn't know.

Crazy idea: maybe Trump, a semi-intelligent billionaire, didn't actually rape a 13 year old.

I know tensions are high now, and Trump is a piece of shit for several thing he *actually* said, but an anonymous accusal by someone who has gone through 3 lawyers and backed out of a come-forward press conference timed for peak election season should probably be met with skepticism.

Media won't touch this with a 10 foot pole probably for a very good reason.

She probably has little faith in the system for justice and also the fact democrats might make her a prop for future arguments against trump with no consideration for her. All in all surprising how a man accused of child rape can become a leader of questionably the most powerful country.

A wake up call that they can get away with it?

Because anyone can throw out accusations and some people have made up things in the past ...... not all accusations are based in fact.

A man being president is no reason to stop if it really happened, they are hardly going to kill her etc.


Clinton had paternity suits thrown at him left right and centre back in the day.

Maybe, probably had nothing to do with the multiple death threats.
