Pattern of Behavior · Five Decades
28+ Accusers
This page is not about any single accusation. It documents a pattern spanning five decades — and the fact that when one case finally went to a jury, the plaintiff won.
How this page distinguishes claims
Accusations are categorized by evidentiary status: Proven (jury verdict), In official records (allegation not proven), Corroborated by multiple witnesses, and Unproven allegations on record. The distinction matters. No unverified claim is presented as fact.

Alleged 1994Rape at age 13–15 at an Epstein party in New York City
FBI interview summaries describe four interviews in 2019. A 2016 lawsuit was later dropped. On March 5–6, 2026, the Justice Department posted pages it said had been “incorrectly coded as duplicative,” including FBI interview summaries of an allegation related to Trump. NPR, NBC News, and the Los Angeles Times reported that posting. Those accounts describe the allegation as uncorroborated. It has not been proven.

The 2019 book All the President's Women reports 43 instances of inappropriate contact, 26 involving unwanted sexual contact (Vice). Trump has denied the allegations. The Carroll case is the only one where a jury evaluated the evidence.
