A woman told a New York civil trial on Tuesday that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her on a flight in the United States in the late 1970s.
Jessica Leeds recounted the alleged attack while testifying in the writer E. Jean Carroll’s rape and defamation lawsuit against the ex-president.
Leeds told Manhattan’s federal court that Trump put his hand up her skirt in the business class section of a flight to New York in 1978 or 1979.
“There was no conversation. It was like out of the blue,” said Leeds, now 81.
“He was trying to kiss me, grabbing my breasts,” she added.
Trump has repeatedly and strenuously denied all allegations of sexual assault and has never been criminally prosecuted over any such claims.
