The Woman Who Accused Trump of Raping Her at 13 Just Dropped Her Lawsuit Amid Death Threats.

A woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her at a party when she was just 13 years old has voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit, according to court records. The woman, who has gone by the pseudonyms Jane Doe and Katie Johnson, was a no-show at a much hyped press conference earlier this weekwith celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom.
Jezebel previously detailed the bizarre backstory behind two lawsuits Johnson filed against Trump and celebrity sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who she said also raped her at a party in 1994. A group of men worked for a year to push the rape allegations into the news, while preventing access to Johnson. No journalist has ever been able to speak to her directly in person or confirm her existence. However, her attorney, Thomas Francis Meagher of New Jersey, has told Jezebel he’s met with his client on several occasions and has gotten to know her “quite well.”
According to court records, Johnson/Doe voluntarily dismissed the suit on the afternoon of November 4. No other information is provided in the filing.
Bloom said earlier this week that Doe/Johnson didn’t appear at a planned press conference because she had received death threats and was in fear for her life. Bloom didn’t represent her, but was supportive of the allegations and critical of media outlets she said were refusing to cover the story.
The first lawsuit Doe filed against Trump and Epstein in California was dismissed for failure to properly state a claim. A second lawsuit in New York was voluntarily dismissed in September, then re-filed with an affidavit from a woman using the pseudonym “Tiffany Doe,” who said she had witnessed the rape.
We’ve contacted Doe’s attorney Meagher for comment and will update if we hear back.
