E. Jean Carroll Is Just One Of 20+ Women Who Have Accused Donald Trump Of Sexual Assault & Misconduct

Writer E. Jean Carroll, who recently claimed that Donald Trump raped her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman about 23 years ago, is far from the first woman to accuse the president of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct: At least 21 women have done so, in incidents occurring from the early 1980s to 2016.

"The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips," the 75-year-old wrote in her forthcoming book What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, out July 2.

Carroll added Trump pinned her against the wall, put his hand under her coat dress, and pulled down her tights. The most horrific part comes next: "He opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me."

The claims against Trump became a focus of the 2016 presidential campaign after the release of the infamous Access Hollywood tape in which he openly bragged about sexual assault. "I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them," Trump said. "It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait." He continued: "When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

In an excerpt from her book published in The Cut, Carroll wrote that Trump raped her after she tried to help him find a gift for a unnamed woman.
