Trump Accused of Groping Woman with Multiple Hands

Jessica Leeds, one of the 26 women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, testified in court to support E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Trump. Leeds accused Trump of groping her on a flight in the late 1970s, describing the incident as if he had "40 zillion hands." Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s, which he denies. Trump is currently facing 34 low-level felony charges of falsifying business records in a separate case.

Multiple Women Testify in Trump Sexual Assault Trials.

Jessica Leeds testified in a civil trial that former US President Donald Trump molested her on an airline flight in the late 1970s, grabbing her chest and running his hand up her skirt. Leeds said she wriggled free of Trump, told him “I don’t need this”, and stormed to the back of the plane. Trump’s lawyer said the former president has decided against testifying. Carroll’s lawyers called Leeds to the witness stand in an attempt to show that Trump has a history of assaulting women and that Carroll’s claims were part of a pattern, not a one-off incident.

Trump Accused of Groping Woman on Plane by Witness

Jessica Leeds testified under oath that Donald Trump groped her non-consensually during a 1979 flight to New York City. Leeds was the first witness called by E. Jean Carroll's lawyers to establish a pattern of sexual assault by the former president. Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the '90s. Leeds managed to pry herself away from Trump and "stormed" back to her original seat in coach. Carroll sparred with Trump attorney Joe Tacopina from the stand during cross-examination.

Multiple Women Testify Against Trump in Sexual Assault Cases

Jessica Leeds, who testified on Tuesday about Donald Trump allegedly attacking her as part of writer E Jean Carroll’s rape case against the former president, said she never hopes to share her experience again. Leeds told jurors about how on a flight to New York in the late 1970s, Trump allegedly violently sexually assaulted her when she was seated next to him in first class. After the incident, Leeds didn’t share her experience with “anybody” because it didn’t “occur” to her that was an option. Leeds headed out of the New York courtroom and voiced her support for Ms Carroll.
