Lisa Bloom calls off press conference about child rape due to threats.
(Also, Lisa Bloom's law firm's website seems to be under attack. It's been down for much of the day.)

The California plaintiff, known only as “Jane Doe,” was scheduled to break her silence in a Wednesday press conference, but backed out at the last minute.
"Jane Doe has received numerous threats today, as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented,” said the woman’s attorney, Lisa Bloom.
“She is living in fear. She has decided that she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately, she's in terrible fear. So we're going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came."

LOS ANGELES—A woman who has filed federal lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of repeatedly raping her two decades ago, when she was 13, abruptly canceled a news conference Wednesday where she was to detail her extraordinary claims against the GOP presidential nominee.
In the most recent suit, Trump's accuser asserts that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul raped her on several occasions, including one instance in which she says Trump tied her to a bed.
Attorney and legal commentator Lisa Bloom announced earlier Wednesday that the woman would appear at Bloom's Woodland Hills law office at 3 p.m. local time and apparently give up the "Jane Doe" pseudonym used in her recent suits.
However, at the appointed hour, Bloom said the news conference was off.
"Jane Doe has received numerous threats today," Bloom told the assembled journalists and TV cameras. "She has decided she is too afraid to show her face... She is in terrible fear."

...this was a very bad move given the timing. Ms. Bloom should have foreseen this and perhaps kept her client sequestered for the three hours from when she announced it on Twitter.
No way this will have impact now and instead may further the "fake victim" meme that the trumpster deplorables are spreading.
She was 13. Maybe she didn't have all that much of a choice in the matter.
She's female. Maybe she didn't tell anyone because no one would believe her so she couldn't give a compelling reason not to go back.
She's 13 and female. Maybe everyone around her assumed she was beautiful, vapid, and usable as an object so her thoughts on the matter were irrelevant.
She was a prior sexual assault victim. Maybe she was suppressing everything, dissociating, and praying it wouldn't happen again.
I'm not about to fucking second guess a teenage girl being manipulated by grown men. That anyone would is thoroughly repugnant to me. It perpetuates rape culture. 
Fuck that noise and fuck anyone who thinks it's ok to do that shit.
