Number Of Accusers Grows To 12, As Former Miss Finland Accuses Trump of Sexual AssaultBy Sarah Jones
October 27, 2016
The 12th woman has come forward to accuse Donald Trump of doing what he bragged about doing on the Billy Bush bus tape.
In a story that sounds very familiar, former Miss Finland Ninni Laaksonen told the tabloid Ilta-Sanomat that the now Republican nominee grabbed her butt just before Trump and three other beauty pageant contests went on the air for the Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.
Before the show we were photographed outside the building, Laaksonen is quoted by Haaretz. Trump stood next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt. I dont think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought, What is happening?'
As to the veracity of these claims, it should be noted that Laaksonen didnt seek the tabloid out. Ilta-Sanomat, the second largest paper in the country according to Wikipedia, reached out to Finnish women who had encountered Trump and thats how they discovered her story.
In case youre not already grimacing, the former Miss Finland added, Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger.
Trump has been caught on tape saying women expire at the age of 35. Melania Trump is now 46, so she would have been expired when this alleged groping incident took place in 2006.
New York Magazine has an exhaustive list of allegations made by women against Donald Trump.
