Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.
“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”
At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.
More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.
About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.
According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.
“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”
She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.
Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.
Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.
Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.
Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

As liberals like to say, its the seriousness of the charges that matter.
Proof? We don’t need no steeken’ proof.
More Alinsky - personalize your target, freeze it and mash it up.
Fortunately, Trump isn’t that soft a target.
Roflmao at your nonsense. So watching trumps show is embarrassing but putting on blinders to his past behavior is not...he was making jokes on tv In a boardroom setting about blowjobs from brandi...
He did that kind of stuff all the time to women
Talk to the lady that first used that expression before you get all puritan on me. I’m sick of phony conservatives like Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz who probably have mistresses in every hotel in Washington. Certainly, Cruz does.
The Clintons ALWAYS go personal.
If you are too high-profile for Arkanside, they destroy your life. Personally and financially.
They have taken the "politics of personal destruction" to a whole new level ever since their "redneck" days in Arkansas
Sex sells.
The dyin’ NYT needs to get readers.
So they’re a tabloid. Oh wait - National Enquirer is far more accurate than them.
They have to run 20-30 year old allegations against Trump.
This is what we call “journalism”.
Trump has already threatened legal action.
He ran Cain was EXACTLY what I was thinking, I guess at ANY TIME NOW Gloria Aldred will be marching forth with the bimbos!!!
Good!
Oh..and just so you know..ivana said he was a male chauvinist pig In that Interview with oprah....when she was still married to him
Why are you on FR? If you’re not going to vote for him because as an avid fan of reality tv he’s too low for you - why are you here?!
I didn’t realize that as low as tv has sunk, Trump was getting blow jobs on national tv. Or are you just making that up, troll?
Gloria Allred accuses Schwarzenegger of sexual abuse.

By 2005, Donald Trump was already a television star.
People like to meet TV stars. They think they know them. They take the TV persona for what the star is really like.
I'm not saying she's telling the truth, but whatever interpretation you're trying to make isn't any more likely to be true.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I hope Trump goes nuclear on crooked till the very last second. She’s such a sleaze, and that’s the nicest word I can come up with...
“she said that she would have been alright with it if he had stayed above her waist!!”
Exactly what I just heard on the audio. . . so. . . .she lets him think it’s ok, and then she decides it’s too much. Where on earth have we heard that before? That alone is enough to discredit her. I am sick to death of blaming the man when the woman lets it go initially. We used to have a name for that, which I’ll not repeat here.
WOW bribing women WELL that would sure blow this story right out of the water!!!
It didn’t keep Ah-nold from being elected CA Governor.
Just as the Times’ latest hit piece won’t stop Trump from becoming our next President.
Its over.
How odd not to report these assaults during the primaries! Wouldn’t these outraged women want to prevent him from being the nominee?
How convenient that they’re coming forward just when the Wikileaks are coming, if you’ll pardon the expression, fast and furious.
Just a cheap way of distracting from the criminal.
