"
I am here to tell about an incident that took place a long time ago with Donald Trump,
" Amy Dorris begins.
She says that at 24, she was attacked by the American president who was then only a New York entrepreneur.
The scene took place outside the toilet at the US Open tennis tournament: “
He just grabbed me.
And he stuck his tongue down my throat, I tried to push him away and that's when his grip got tighter, and his hands were feeling my butt, my breasts, my back, everything.
His grip was strong, I couldn't push him away.
I always describe it as assaulting an octopus, you see those sticky tentacles that lock you in.
This is how I felt
: trapped.
"
Amy Dorris says she decided to speak up to show her twin daughters who have just turned thirteen that you shouldn't let yourself be fooled or be ashamed of an assault.
More than twenty women have already publicly accused Donald Trump of assaulting them.
Accusations systematically rejected by the president.
