Related: About this forumBOOM! Natasha Stoynoff's (people magazine) story of sexual assault by Donald Trump cooraborated.
As more women stand up to this sexual predator you will find their stories unassailable. Here is corroboration on one. His power, money and fame will no longer keep these survivors silent.

McLaughlin was Stoynoff's journalism professor, and told CBC's The Current that Stoynoff used to call him for professional advice. He said Stoynoff called him shortly after the alleged incident, and told him how Trump "had come onto her very strongly, very aggressively, and that it could have been much worse if someone who worked for him had not come into the room and interrupted them."
"She was really rattled, as you can understand," said McLaughlin. "She didn't know what to do, she was very conflicted, she was angry, she was really confused about how to deal with this."
After discussing the situation together, McLaughlin said, Stoynoff decided it would be best if she kept the incident to herself.
"It was going to be a he said, she said," McLaughlin said. "And we were talking about one of the most influential people in North America at the time. He was just flying high with The Apprentice, he was aggressive, he was litigious."
Stoynoff ultimately decided to avoid any future assignments involving Trump, which McLaughlin believed was the right decision

(12,904 posts)Because if it was yesterday, he popped himself twice in the same day.
Yesterday in his rally, he said some of the stories were not true. So, he admits some of it is true.
Edit: I went back to check the quote. He said "In just about all cases, it's not even true, it's false".

He apparently indicated at least some involvement onstage TWICE yesterday. I heard it, and it has been mentioned here at DU.
Why no reporting?

I was her former jlsm prof/mentor. She didn't know what to do and wanted advice. She was crying and angry. #natashastoynoff.
