Jill Harth's sexual assault allegations against Trump are NOT new,

[pnwmom]

as MSNBC and others have been reporting.

Law Newz reported on the Jill Harth case way back on February 23, 2016, when it was examining Trump's thousands of lawsuits.

So these allegations are not new -- they've just been ignored by most of the media, until now.

First, here is a new story in the New York Daily News, followed by the February story in Law Newz.

Make-up artist Jill Harth said the audio recording of Trump bragging that his stardom allowed him to do whatever he wanted to women, including “grab them by the p---y,” sadly came as no shock.

“That was exactly what he did to me,” she told the Daily News.

Harth sued Trump in 1997, claiming the bawdy businessman sexually harassed her for years and attempted to rape her at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

There has been much talk of late about Donald Trump and the law. In addition to his regular threats to sue Ted Cruz, LawNewz.com discovered Trump has been named as a plaintiff and defendant in at least 169 different federal lawsuits. Some of the cases have been resolved, a few dismissed as frivolous, others privately settled. In the context of that research, we found one that was particularly interesting, even scandalous. So we did some further digging and obtained an exclusive copy of the $125 million lawsuit filed in 1997, which had been buried deep in a federal archive warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri. The case has almost never been reported on, and the shocking allegations just seemed to suddenly vanish in an era before the widespread availability of the internet.

The lawsuit was filed by Jill Harth who then went by Jill Harth Houraney on April 25, 1997. Harth, who was in her early 30’s at the time, alleged that Trump engaged in hostile and offensive sexual behavior towards her from 1992 to 1997 including “groping” her under her dress on several occasions, “forcibly” moving her to his daughter’s bedroom in an attempt to have sex with her, and repeatedly, aggressively and inappropriately propositioning her for sex. She called it “sexually abusive” and LawNewz.com spoke to her in an exclusive interview.

The 12-page complaint is filled with sordid allegations against Trump, often very specific, and including dates and times. At other points in the filing, she presents second hand accounts of even more boorish behavior that she attributes to Trump.

Harth says she met Trump in her capacity as a pageant producer organizing international model search events in the early 1990’s. This was around the same time that Trump was active in the beauty pageant world. Harth’s lawsuit came as her former husband George Houraney was involved in a breach-of-contract dispute with Trump over a beauty contest at one of Trump’s properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

1. I thought I saw her face on a Facebook post a couple of days ago

So I was wondering that myself.

2. No, it's not new. And after all was said and done, she dated Trump.

To me, that goes against her credibility.

There is enough evidence against the asshole without this story.
