Former model says Trump groped her during encounter brokered by Epstein

Less than two weeks before the presidential election, a former model has gone public with allegations that Donald Trump groped her in 1993 during an encounter brokered by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Stacey Williams, now 56, shared the incident with the Guardian on Wednesday, saying she felt Trump's actions were part of a “twisted game” he and Epstein were playing with her.

According to her recollection for the Guardian, Epstein introduced Williams to Trump at a Christmas party in 1992, and it was clear to her that the two men were “really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together.” She said she and Epstein started dating shortly after the party.

A few months later, Epstein asked her to accompany him on a visit to Trump Tower, where Trump sexually assaulted her, she said.

“He pulled me close and started groping me,” Williams said of Trump in a video published by the Guardian. “He put his hands on my breasts, my waist, my butt and I froze. And I froze because I was deeply confused about what was happening, because the hands were moving all over me, and yet these two men smiled at each other and continued their conversation.”

Williams felt the incident was planned by Trump and Epstein, who killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of allegedly sex trafficking minors.

Later, Williams said, Epstein “berated” her about the groping.

“I felt shame and disgust, and as we went our separate ways, I felt like I was looking at it again with hands all over me,” she said. “And I had this terrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow staged. I felt like a piece of meat.”

Trump later sent her a postcard with an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago and a message that read, “Stacey – your second home. I love Donald.” The Guardian published images of the postcard, which shows handwriting similar to Trump's and appears to be written with his usual thick black marker.

A spokesman for Trump's campaign dismissed Williams' allegations, calling her a “former Barack Obama activist.”

“It is obvious that this fake story was fabricated by the Harris campaign,” Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Williams also shared her experiences with Trump on Monday in a call organized by the group Survivors4Harris that included actress Ashley Judd and attorney Anita Hill.

More than two dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct. Last year, a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room in the 1990s and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million in damages.
