This is not the first time allegations of this kind have been made against Trump. At least twenty women have come forward to date accusing him of sexual assault of various degrees (details here).
Trump lashed back at one of those women and she turned around and sued him for defamation. That case is due to go to trial soon.
As the Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and other "me too" accusations have shown, at some point, when you have multitudes of women coming forward about a single individual, all independently making accusations that were first lodged decades ago, the evidence becomes overwhelming. There's too much smoke for their not to be fire.
Carroll says she never went to the police at the time but did tell several friends shortly after the alleged rape. Those friends have verified what she said.
Given the sheer number of accusations against Trump, and given his open hostility toward women, plus his admittance of enjoying sexual assault with his "grab them by the pussy" comments that were recorded, I believe the women, not him.
Such allegations brought down Cosby, Weinstein, and more. Yet Trump remains somehow untouched. What is wrong with that picture?
