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.”

Thanks!
Correct. There is a practical "statute of limitations".
Let them compare this to Juanita Broadderick.
So...he did this in PUBLIC? NOT in a hotel room???
Trawling for sex.
The media needs to be shut down for peddling porn.
Oh wait - no sex actually took place?
The shmucks.
Do you have a link?

Did first class seats have arm rests that you could raise 30 years ago? The seats in first class have non moveable arm rests on all the aircraft I have flown in for years
Trump’s not going on the offensive at all and taking Hillary on in a way that Willard didn’t. Where’s this big fighter who hits back 10x harder??
He’s getting killed by the media and not responding with ads at all. Looks like the beginning of the end
To be fair..she was doing her job. Defense lawyers have to defend people.That said...she knew the guy was guilty and that interview she gave was one where she shouldn’t have been laughing
Oh my! He said he will date a young girl in 10 years... probably trying to make her feel good about herself. And this is a news story? They be inciting revolution... first ones to the guillotine will be the media.
So go write in Jeb’s name. And for someone who is so holier-than-thou, why do you keep using that gross term? Do you know what it means?
Exactly. They are expecting us to believe that Romney, Bush, et. al, wouldn’t use this during the primaries?
Why aren’t there witnesses?
If Trump did what these women have accused him of, why didn’t they file sexual assault charges?
Like his campaign spokesman noted, the story trivializes cases of real sexual assault.
The NYT is willing to stoop low to stop Trump from winning the Presidency.
Like I said, this says a lot more about them than it does about Trump.
Bingo.
She was obviously in Economy.
Trump had a private plane and a helicopter. Here’s an Atlantic article with an embedded old 60 Minutes complete episode about Trump in the 80’s. Topping the article is a photo of Trump posing with his helicopter on March 22, 1988.
Wait for it, some chick will come out and say Trump forced her to get an abortion.
Exactly
Not even going to look. That sort of thing is said by guys when they know the kid has a crush on them. It is silly talk.
Trump is starting to get some ads out. Now he has referenced he couldn’t afford to run the ads she does because he doesn’t have the money. However, yes, his ad game is something I have been complaining about since this summer. There is a mine of dirt to use against her. I wish he had started hitting with ads on that dirt sooner than he has.
Unfortunately in todays hook up world, where women are many times more agressive then men, it’s very difficult to even know if there are boundaries.
I recall a man who showed interest in a gathering ....he told me later he was “waiting” for me to make a move....and that certainly wasn’t going to happen. But as he shared later, he didn’t quite know what to do!...so he did nothing!
In time he said that I brought out of him things he didn’t know he had in him because woman were so easy today....said he never had so much fun with all his clothes on! LOLOLOL...
