Amy Dorris, a former model, came with a sexual allegation against the United States President Donald Trump. The incident dates back to a couple of decades ago in the 1997 US Open. Speaking with The Guardian, Amy Dorris mentioned that Trump led the sexual misconduct outside the bathroom in his VIP box at the tournament back 5 September 1997.
She accused Trump of forcing his tongue deep down her throat and assaulting all over her body. Dorris, who was 24 at the time, mentioned that he held her on the grip to be inescapable. She mentioned:
"He just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off. And then that’s when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything."
"I was in his grip, and I couldn’t get out of it,” she said, adding: “I don’t know what you call that when you’re sticking your tongue just down someone’s throat. But I pushed it out with my teeth. I was pushing it. And I think I might have hurt his tongue.”
Moreover, Dorris provided The Guardian with some documents that include her ticket to the US Open and six pictures with the President, as evidence. Trump, who was 51 at the time of the incident, was married to his second wife, Marla Maples.
Amy Morris immediately called her friend in New York and also her mother after the incident. The Guardian reports that all the people whom Dorris contacted during the time said she shared the insight of the alleged incident with them. Dorris initially wanted to open herself with the story during in 2016 when several accusations against the President flaunted. However, she did not do so, as she thought that it could harm her family life.
Dorris is a mother of twin daughters. She states:
"Now I feel like my girls are about to turn 13 years old and I want them to know that you don't let anybody do anything to you that you don't want. And I'd rather be a role model. I want them to see that I didn't stay quiet, that I stood up to somebody who did something unacceptable."
The Story Behind Donald Trump Sexual Accusation

Speaking of the time, she mentioned, 'He came on very strong right away. It seemed typical of a certain guy, people who feel like they're entitled to do what they want…even though I was there with my boyfriend.'
Dorris, her boyfriend, were joined by Trump's friend in his private box. And when she was heading towards the bathroom, the alleged assault occurred behind the partition wall. She said she was having issues with her contact lenses and went bathroom to moisten her lens. When she returned, Trump was waiting outside. She mentioned, 'Initially, I thought that he was waiting to go to the bathroom, but that wasn't the case, unfortunately.'
Amy Dorris alleged that she recalls saying 'No, get-away,' 'no, please stop,' but Trump did not care. It doesn't matter who you are. Any time anyone says no, no means no. And that didn't work out for me. It wasn't enough.'
She asserted:
"I just was in shock. I felt violated. But I still wasn't processing it and was trying to go back to talking to everyone and having a good time because I don't know, I felt pressured to be that way."
Although she does not remember if she told her boyfriend, Binn, about the incident in detail, she said, 'He's all over me. I can't deal with this. You have to do something.'
However, Jason Binn has not responded to the incident yet.
The former model, who starred in Any Given Sunday (1999), cited that Trump did not seriously assault her again, but he continued to pursue her. However, she rejected the firm of her advances.
Concerning the allegation of the former model, Donald Trump's legal advisor Jenna Ellis stated that the allegations are false. She cited, 'We will consider every legal means available to hold The Guardian accountable for its malicious publication of this unsubstantiated story. This is just another pathetic attempt to attack President Trump right before the election.'
