"Epstein transported her to New York or New Jersey where she claims he introduced her to Trump, who forced her into a sex act. She estimated she was about 13-15 years old, which would place the dates between 1983 and 1985" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

guardian newspaper report on 7th october 2026
screenshot of text saying
FBI notes in the case, which were first reported by the Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, repeat the woman’s allegation that at one point, Epstein transported her to New York or New Jersey where she claims he introduced her to Trump, who forced her into a sex act. She estimated she was about 13-15 years old, which would place the dates between 1983 and 1985, but she acknowledged a fuzzy memory. Trump said in a 2002 interview with New York magazine that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date their relationship to 1987. The White House has denied Jane Doe 4’s allegations.

The Epstein files contain a statement made by a woman who alleges the current US president sexually assaulted her when she was 13-years-old, then punched her when she resisted The Iran War began 3 days after this fact became public

NPR online report
The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Epstein introduced her to Trump "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
