A friend of hers also reported the allegations about Trump to the FBI in 2019. The bureau cited her allegations in an email circulated within the agency and recently made public by the Justice Department. She asked that her friend be protected.
Of the details that The Post and Courier found supported by public records, none related directly to the alleged victim’s claims about Trump.
To identify key players in the woman’s account and attempt to evaluate her claims, the newspaper scoured court records, police reports and old newspaper clippings in multiple states. It also deployed a reporter to the West Coast to retrace her steps in a journey that began on a tony resort island along the South Carolina coast.
. . . At one point, her mother became aware that Epstein had nude photos of the teen from their sexual encounters and was demanding money to keep them hidden, the woman told the FBI. The victim said she had seen the photographs in his bedstand, leading to a violent encounter when he discovered her snooping.
She said his extortion demand caused her mother to steal funds from her real estate company.
[OP Note: interesting that Epstein was the same dirtbag asshole before he got all of Les Wexner’s money. At the time of this accuser’s account he was just extorting his landlord]
. . . She said the incident occurred when he was a leading developer with a new casino in Atlantic City. She said she was led to Trump in a “very tall building with huge rooms.” The future president instructed others to leave the room, she said, and allegedly told her, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”
She said he unzipped his pants and forced her to perform a sex act. The alleged victim told the FBI she “bit the (expletive) out of it,” causing Trump to slap her across the face and curse at her.
It is unclear from the interview records how long she stayed in the New York area, but she had family connections in the state.
In her talks with the FBI, the woman also detailed calls to her mother at an assisted living facility on the West Coast, where both of them had settled. The Post and Courier verified that the mother used a private nursing care home as an address in her declining years. A death record matches the mother’s age and name, but Washington state does not publicly release other identifying details.
. . . After her time with Epstein, the alleged victim [accumulated a record of criminal charges, drug dependency and domestic turmoil. She had a daughter and was prosecuted for filing false claims for food stamp applications. The alleged victim avoided prison by completing a drug diversion program.
The alleged victim had a turbulent domestic life, with three marriages including one that lasted only a few weeks. Her mother shows up in court records as a witness in a violent domestic incident between her daughter and her first husband, who declined to speak when a reporter approached him at his door.
The alleged victim eventually returned to the East Coast and lived with relatives in Georgia, developing a romantic relationship with a terminally-ill man who was saving money for his funeral.
She stole an envelope filled with cash from him and spent a year in the county jail for it. Her public defender told The Post and Courier that she described her life to him as having been permanently scarred by her experience with Epstein.
