In the 1990s, a former model named Stacey Williams accused both Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of groping and sexually touching her. Williams claimed that she met Trump through Epstein in 1992 and that the alleged incident took place in 1993 at Trump Tower. She described feeling deeply confused and frozen as Trump allegedly groped her breasts, waist, and buttocks while Epstein looked on.
Williams shared that Epstein later sent her a postcard of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach residence and resort, with a message saying, “Your home away from home. Love Donald.” Williams came forward with these allegations during a call organized by a group supporting Kamala Harris and has previously shared parts of her story on social media.
Following the incident, Williams said that Epstein grew angry with her for allowing Trump to grope her. She felt disgusted and ashamed, describing the encounter as part of a “twisted game.” Williams and Epstein parted ways soon after, and she was unaware of Epstein’s pattern of sexual abuse at the time.
This accusation adds to a series of allegations against Trump, with about two dozen women accusing him of sexual misconduct over the years. Trump has denied these claims, including those made by another model named Amy Dorris. In 2020, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing columnist E Jean Carroll in 1996.
While there is no evidence that Trump was involved in Epstein’s crimes, the two men were known to be friends for decades. Trump praised Epstein in a 2002 interview, and they were seen together at various social events prior to Epstein’s 2008 conviction in Florida. Trump later distanced himself from Epstein after the arrest on sex-trafficking charges in 2019.
Williams explained that she chose to remain anonymous and avoid negative attention due to the backlash faced by other survivors who came forward. However, she eventually felt more confident in sharing her story, discussing the alleged incident with friends over the years. One friend recalled Williams mentioning being groped by Trump in 2005 or 2006, while another friend remembered a conversation in 2015 where Williams expressed her feelings about the incident.
The allegations made by Williams raise questions about the relationship between Trump and Epstein, shedding light on a disturbing chapter in both men’s histories. The story serves as a reminder of the importance of listening to survivors and holding those accused of misconduct accountable for their actions.
