According to the New York magazine cover story published on Friday, author E. Jean Carroll accused President Donald Trump of raping her in a dressing room of New York's Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s.
This is the 16th allegation of sexual misconduct or harassment made against Trump throughout his public life all of which he has kick against.
In 2005 during filming for an episode of "Access Hollywood" Trump was caught discussing groping and kissing women and saying that "when you are a star, they let you do it." That tape was made available to the Washington Post during the 2016 election.
Reacting to the allegation, The White House issued a statement on Friday evening in which President Trump said: "I never met this person in my life."
It's certainly unusual to see a sexual assault allegation written in first person, the piece is an excerpt from Carroll's forthcoming book "What Do We Need Men For: A Modest Proposal?" but Carroll says she disclosed the incident to two friends just after it happened which New York magazine says it has verified.
Donald Trump account is not only one portion of Carroll's piece, as she also mentioned other instances of alleged sexual assault at the hands of multiple men which includes former CBS CEO and Chairman Les Moonves.
She alledged that Moonves forced himself on her in a Beverly Hills hotel elevator after she interviewed him for a 1997 Esquire piece.
