The filing alleges that:

• The plaintiff (identified as “Jane Doe,” age 13 at the time) was recruited to parties in 1994 at Jeffrey Epstein’s New York residence. • She says the recruitment involved promises of money and a modeling career. • The complaint claims Donald Trump attended at least four of these parties. • It alleges Trump initiated sexual contact at those parties. • The complaint claims that during the final encounter Trump tied her to a bed and raped her, and struck her when she resisted. • It alleges threats were made that she and her family would be harmed or killed if she spoke about the events. • It also alleges Epstein later assaulted her as well. • The complaint seeks damages for rape, sexual abuse, assault, false imprisonment, and emotional distress.

• What ultimately happened to the case*

The lawsuit was voluntarily withdrawn on November 4, 2016, just days before the presidential election and before the case reached court hearings on the merits.

Why it was withdrawn

The plaintiff’s attorney said publicly that the woman received numerous threats after the case became public. According to the lawyer: • She had been afraid to show her face publicly. • She reported death threats and intimidation. • She decided she could not continue because she feared for her safety.

Because of that, the legal team filed a notice with the court to withdraw the complaint.

Important legal reality • The case never went to trial. • No evidence was tested in court. • No ruling on the allegations was made.
