washington (CNN)Another
woman is publicly accusing Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual
contact, alleging the GOP nominee touched and kissed her a decade ago
during a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
At the news conference, Allred showed a photograph of Trump and Drake together.
Jessica
Drake is at least the 11th woman to accuse Trump of unwanted sexual
advances since the surfacing of a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape in which
Trump brags about being able to grope and kiss women.
Drake,
an adult film performer and director, claimed at a news conference in
Los Angeles Saturday that Trump asked her for her phone number and
invited her to his suite the night they met in 2006. She went and
brought along two other women to accompany her because she said she did
not feel comfortable attending alone.
"He
grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug and kissed each one of us without
asking permission," said Drake, who is being represented by Gloria
Allred, the women's rights attorney who has represented other women --
including two other Trump accusers -- in high-profile sexual assault
cases.
Feeling uncomfortable, Drake
said she left after about 30 to 45 minutes but later received a phone
call from one of Trump's representatives, who invited her to his room
alone. Drake declined.
According
to Drake, Trump himself then got on the phone with her, asking her to
come back and to go out to dinner or attend a party with him, but she
again declined.
He then asked, "What do you want? How much?" Drake said.
After she turned down his invite, she said he eventually offered her $10,000 and use of his private jet if she accepted.
The
Trump campaign, which has vehemently denied previous sexual assault
allegations against him, pushed back against Drake's account Saturday.
"This
story is totally false and ridiculous. The picture is one of thousands
taken out of respect for people asking to have their picture taken with
Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not know this person, does not remember this
person and would have no interest in ever knowing her. This is just
another attempt by the Clinton campaign to defame a candidate who just
today is number one in three different polls. Anyone who would pay thugs
to incite violence at a rally against American citizens, as was
released on video, will stop at nothing. Just another example of the
Clinton campaign trying to rig the election," the statement said.
Trump earlier Saturday also vowed to sue his accusers after the election. He did not mention Drake's allegations during a campaign rally in Cleveland.
Asked about Trump's claim
earlier in the day that she was behind other accusers, Clinton told
reporters aboard her campaign plane Saturday night "That is just not
accurate."
Allred addressed Trump's threat to sue.
"If
Mr. Trump thought that such bullying tactics would silence his accusers
and prevent other women from coming forward, he will be sorely
disappointed. Women will not be intimidated into silence by Donald
Trump," Allred said.
Drake, at the
end of her statement, acknowledged that she might be called an
opportunist and a liar, but after the release of the "Access Hollywood"
tape, she said she felt the need to come forward publicly.
"I realize that in this situation I may be but a tiny grain of sand. But clearly, this is an enormous beach," Drake said.
The
accusations made against Trump in the past two weeks range from
inappropriate touching to forced kissing. Simultaneously, his poll
numbers nationwide and in several key swing states have plummeted.
