Jane Doe v. Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein


In prison culture, a pedophile is called a “short eyes”. A “short eyes” is despised by the rest of the inmates. They are usually separated from the rest of the prison population to prevent them from being killed. They are the lowest of the low.

Donald Trump’s attorneys have been ordered by the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, to appear in courtroom 1506 on September 9, 2016, for an initial status conference for case No. 16-CV-4642 (RA).

Why? Donald Trump has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1994.

During his campaign for the Presidency of the United States, Donald Trump has said many things that would seemingly disqualify him for the position. Nevertheless, he has persevered, triumphed, and continues to survive. Despite ominous recent polls, he still commands the support of a bedrock base of 35% of the American electorate.

For some reason, despite around-the-clock coverage of the Presidential campaign, the major news organizations refuse to touch this case. It is possible that they all believe it is simply a frivolous lawsuit that could not possibly be true. It is also possible that the consequences of informing the American public would be so catastrophic that no organization wants the responsibility of breaking the story, destroying Trump, the GOP, and its elected officials, and later having Trump exonerated.

Nevertheless…

This is the third time that Donald Trump has been publicly accused of sexual assault or rape.



His first wife, Ivana, in a 1989 deposition accused him of attacking her, pulling her hair out and forcibly penetrating her without her consent. According to the “Daily Beast”, he was angry with her because she had referred him to a cosmetic surgeon to perform a procedure to cover a bald spot, but the result was painful, which is why he pulled her hair out. They were later divorced, and Mrs. Trump later said she did not mean “rape” in a “literal or criminal” sense.



In 1997, According to the “Guardian” and the “Huffington Post”, Jill Harth alleged in a federal lawsuit that Donald Trump violated her “physical and mental integrity” when he touched her intimately without consent after her husband went into business with him, leaving her “emotionally devastated (and) distraught.” She later withdrew the suit when a parallel suit against Mr. Trump brought by her husband was settled. As recently as this year Ms. Harth has stood by her sexual assault allegations.



Lisa Bloom, a legal analyst for NBC News, attorney, and best-selling author described the Jane Doe case in a haunting article in the Huffington Post. In it, she said;

Jane Doe says that Mr. Trump “initiated sexual contact” with her on four occasions in 1994. Since she was thirteen at the time, consent is not an issue. If Mr. Trump had any sexual contact with her in 1994, it was a crime.

On the fourth incident, she says Mr. Trump tied her to a bed and forcibly raped her, in a “savage sexual attack,” while she pleaded with him to stop. She says Mr. Trump violently struck her in the face. She says that afterward, if she ever revealed what he had done, Mr. Trump threatened that she and her family would be “physically harmed if not killed.” She says she has been in fear of him ever since.

New York’s five-year statute of limitations on this claim – the legal deadline for filing – has long since run. However, Jane Doe’s attorney, Thomas Meagher, argues in his court filing that because she was threatened by Mr. Trump, she has been under duress all this time, and therefore she should be permitted additional time to come forward. Legally, this is called “tolling” – stopping the clock, allowing more time to file the case. As a result, the complaint alleges, Jane Doe did not have “freedom of will to institute suit earlier in time.”

Two unusual documents are attached to Jane Doe’s complaints – sworn declarations attesting to the facts. The first is from Jane Doe herself, telling her horrific story, including the allegation that Jeffrey Epstein also raped her and threatened her into silence, and this stunner;

“Defendant Epstein then attempted to strike me about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at me that he, Defendant Epstein, should have been the one who took my virginity, not Defendant Trump…”

And this one;

“Defendant Trump stated that I shouldn’t ever say anything if I didn’t want to disappear like Maria, a 12-year-old female that was forced to be involved in the third incident with Defendant Trump and that I had not seen since that third incident, and that he was capable of having my whole family killed.”



The second declaration is even more astonishing, because it is signed by “Tiffany Doe”, Mr. Epstein’s “party planner” from 1991-2000. Tiffany Doe says that her duties were “to get attractive adolescent women to attend these parties.”

Tiffany Doe says that she recruited Jane Doe at the Port Authority in New York, persuaded her to attend Mr. Epstein’s parties, and actually witnessed the sexual assaults on Jane Doe.

“I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were advised that she was 13 years old.”

It is exceedingly rare for a sexual assault victim to have a witness, but Tiffany Doe says;

“I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.”



I will never be certain that Mr. Trump did or did not commit this unspeakable crime. What is certain, is that the allegation has been made. We are certain that a witness that worked for Mr. Epstein at the time corroborates the allegation. We know that a personal relationship between Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein existed at that time, and that Mr. Epstein is a billionaire pedophile who is a “Level 3 registered sex offender”, “a threat to public safety” – after being convicted of misconduct with another underage girl.



I am also certain that I am in agreement with the prison population of America when they say they want nothing to do with any man that would sexually abuse a child. They don’t want a man like that on their cell block or in their cell. I don’t want a man like that in my neighborhood or in my house. They think a man like that is disgusting. I do too.



I’m trying to picture a man like that in the White House.

Short Eyes.

I can’t do it. 

America, is better than that.
