A former model has come forward with allegations that Donald Trump groped her at Trump Tower in 1993, while disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was present, according to a report by The Guardian on Wednesday.
Stacey Williams, now 56, told the outlet that she first met Trump through Epstein at a Christmas party in 1992. Several months later, she and Epstein visited Trump at his office in Trump Tower, Manhattan. Shortly after arriving, she claimed that Trump pulled her toward him and groped her.
“He put his hands all over my breasts, my waist, and my buttocks,” Williams said, recalling the moment she froze in shock. She added that she was “deeply confused” as the incident unfolded and remembered seeing Trump and Epstein exchange smiles.
Williams shared her account during a Zoom call organized by Survivors for Kamala, a group that recently published a full-page ad in The New York Times reminding readers that Trump had been found liable for sexual abuse in a separate case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. During the call, Williams described how Epstein berated her afterward.
“He made me feel so disgusting. It felt like a twisted game between the two of them,” Williams said. “I felt like a piece of meat.”
Trump’s campaign has strongly denied Williams’ claims. Campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told The Guardian, “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”
Williams emphasized that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s notorious history of sexual abuse at the time of the incident, as those allegations wouldn’t come to light until years later.
While no evidence has ever surfaced that Trump was aware of Epstein’s abuse, their long association has been well-documented. Trump distanced himself from Epstein after Epstein’s 2019 arrest on child sex trafficking charges. A lawyer for the Trump Organization claimed at the time that Trump had “no relationship” with Epstein. However, the two had known each other for decades and were photographed together on multiple occasions.
In a 2002 interview with New York magazine, Trump described Epstein as a “terrific guy,” adding, “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Trump and Epstein had been seen together at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 1997 and 2000. NBC News also released 1992 footage of the two at a party, appearing to discuss women dancing in front of them.
Epstein’s connections to Trump extend beyond social settings. Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers, worked at Mar-a-Lago as a teenager. She has stated that she was recruited by Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, while at the resort, which eventually led to her being sexually abused by Epstein.
Flight logs introduced during Maxwell’s trial revealed that Trump had flown with Epstein on several occasions during the 1990s. Adding to the controversy, Trump reportedly traveled on a private jet once owned by Epstein in August 2023 while attending political fundraisers. His campaign stated that they were unaware of the jet’s connection to Epstein at the time and instructed the charter company to avoid leasing that plane in the future.
As with previous accusations against Trump, his legal and campaign teams have dismissed Williams’ claims as politically motivated fabrications ahead of the upcoming election.
