Who is Stacey Williams? The model who has accused Donald Trump of physical misconduct

Donald Trump's US election 2024 campaign has been surrounded by controversies and now another one has emerged as a model named Stacey Williams has accused the Republican Presidential nominee of groping her, as per a report.

One day in 1993, financier Jeffrey Epstein brought a model named Stacey Williams to Trump Tower in Manhattan to say hello to the building's owner, Donald Trump. As he and Epstein chatted, Trump groped Williams, she said, NYT News Service reported.

Williams, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, made the accusation this week in an interview with The New York Times and on a Zoom event in which several women said they had been victims of sexual misconduct by Trump. The women, some of whom had previously made their allegations in public, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.


The Times spoke to two of Williams' friends, who said she had previously told them about the assault. Trump's campaign denied Friday that it ever happened, calling the allegations "unequivocally false" and politically motivated.

Williams is the latest of more than a dozen women to accuse the former president of sexual abuse and misconduct. Last year, for example, a New York jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who said Trump raped her in the dressing room of a department store. Trump was also once caught on tape boasting about assaulting women.

At the time of the 1993 incident, Williams was dating Epstein, who would later be convicted as a sex offender and in 2019 killed himself in his jail cell after being arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges. The two had met in 1992, at a party with models and Wall Street types at a restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Williams said she sat next to Epstein and they talked about politics.

Later in 1992, Williams bumped into Epstein again at a Christmas party that Trump hosted at the Plaza Hotel. A relationship developed over the next several months.

Williams said that Epstein appeared to consider Trump a close friend. "Jeffrey talked about Trump all the time," she said.

Williams and Epstein would often go for walks. On one occasion in 1993, they were strolling down Fifth Avenue, and he suggested that they stop at Trump Tower to visit Trump. She said they rode the elevator to the floor of Trump's office and that he greeted them in a waiting area.
