FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

5. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges that the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, did willfully and with extreme malice violate her Civil Rights under 18 U.S.C ; 2241 by sexually and physically abusing Plaintiff Johnson by forcing her to engage in various perverted and depraved sex acts by threatening physical harm to Plaintiff Johnson and also her family.

6. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges that the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, also did willfully and with extreme malice violate her Civil Rights under 42 U.S.C.; 1985 by conspiring to deny Plaintiff Johnson her Civil Rights by making her their sex slave.

7. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was subject to extreme sexual and physical abuse by the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, including forcible rape during a four month time span covering the months of June-September 1994 when Plaintiff Johnson was still only a minor of age 13.

8. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of underage sex parties held at the New York City residence of Defendant Jeffrey E. Epstein and attended by Defendant Donald J. Trump.

9. On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with the use of her hand upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.

10. On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing her mouth upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.

11. On the third occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was forced to engage in an unnatural lesbian sex act with her fellow minor and sex slave, Maria Doe age 12, for the sexual enjoyment of Defendant Trump. After this sex act, both minors were forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing their mouths simultaneously on his erect penis until he achieved sexual orgasm. After zipping up his pants, Defendant Trump physically pushed both minors away while angrily berating them for the "poor" quality of their sexual performance.

12. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was tied to a bed by Defendant Trump who then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff Johnson. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff Johnson loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to "please wear a condom". Defendant Trump responded by violently striking Plaintiff Johnson in the face with his open hand and screaming that "he would do whatever he wanted" as he refused to wear protection. After achieving sexual orgasm, the Defendant, Donald J. Trump put his suit back on and when the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, in tears asked Defendant Trump what would happen if he had impregnated her, Defendant Trump grabbed his wallet and threw some money at her and screamed that she should use the money "to get a fucking abortion".

13. On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to disrobe into her bra and panties and to give a full body massage to Defendant Epstein while he was completely naked. During the massage, Defendant Epstein physically forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis with her bare hands and to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.

14. On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was again forced to disrobe into her bra and panties while giving Defendant Epstein a full body massage while he was completely naked. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was also present as he was getting his own massage from another minor, Jane Doe, age 13. Defendant Epstein forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis by physically placing her bare hands upon his sex organ and again forced Plaintiff Johnson to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.

5. Shortly after this sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, Plaintiff Johnson was still present while the two Defendants were arguing over who would be the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a "Jew Bastard" as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to "pop the cherry" of Plaintiff Johnson.

16. The third and final sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Kati Johnson, took place after Plaintiff Johnson had been brutally and savagely raped by Defendant Trump. While receiving another full body massage from Plaintiff Johnson, while in the nude, Defendant Epstein became so enraged after finding out that Defendant Trump had been the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity, that Defendant Epstein also violently raped Plaintiff Johnson. After forcing Plaintiff Johnson to disrobe into her bra and panties, while receiving a massage from the Plaintiff, Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's anal cavity with his erect penis while trying to restrain her. Plaintiff Johnson attempted to push Defendant Epstein away, at which time Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's vagina with his erect penis. This attempt to brutally sodomize and rape Plaintiff Johnson by Defendant Epstein was finally repelled by Plaintiff Johnson but not before Defendant Epstein was able to achieve sexual orgasm. After perversely sodomizing and raping the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, attempted to strike her about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at Plaintiff Johnson that he, Defendant Epstein, should have been the one who "took her cherry, not Mr. Trump", before she finally managed to break away from Defendant Epstein.

17. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was fully warned on more than one occasion by both Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, that were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse that she had suffered as a sex slave for Defendant Trump and Defendant Epstein, that Plaintiff Johnson and her family would be in mortal danger. Plaintiff Johnson was warned that this would mean certain death for herself and Plaintiff Johnson's family unless she remained silent forever on the exact details of the depraved and perverted sexual and physical abuse she had been forced to endure from the Defendants.

MATERIAL WITNESSES

18. Tiffany Doe, a former trusted employee of the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, has agreed to provide sworn testimony in this civil case and any other future civil or criminal proceedings, fully verifying the authenticity of the claims of the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson. Witness Tiffany Doe was employed by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, for more than 10 years as a party planner for his underage sex parties. Despite being subject to constant terroristic threats by Defendants Epstein and Trump to never reveal the details of these underage sex parties at which scores of teenagers, and pre-teen girls were used as sex slaves by Defendant Epstein and Defendant Trump, witness Tiffany Doe refuses to be silent any longer. She has agreed to fully reveal the extent of the sexual perversion and physical cruelty that she personally witnessed at these parties by Defendants Epstein and Trump.

19. Material witness Tiffany Doe fully confirms all of Plaintiff Katie Johnson's allegations of physical and sexual abuse by Defendants Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein. Tiffany Doe was physically present at each of the four occasions of sexual abuse by Defendant Trump upon the person of Plaintiff Johnson, as it was her job to witness all of the sexual escapades of Defendant Epstein's guests at these underage sex parties and later reveal all of the sordid details directly to Defendant Epstein. Defendant Epstein also demanded that Tiffany Doe tell him personally everything she had overheard at these parties explaining to her that "knowledge was king" in the financial world. As a result of these underage sex parties, Defendant Epstein was able to accumulate inside business knowledge that he otherwise would never have been privy to in order to amass his huge personal fortune.

20. Material witness Tiffany Doe will testify that she was also present or had direct knowledge of each of the three instances on which Defendant Jeffrey E. Epstein physically and sexually abused the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson. Tiffany Doe will testify to the fact that the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was extremely fortunate to have survived all of the physical and sexual horrors inflicted upon her by Defendants Epstein and Trump.

what do we know about epstein's email: trump 13 yeara old rape
accusation no penaltiy etc. mine is ripe with same

Short version: there was a very serious allegation like this, it was put into civil complaints, but it never got tested in court and was ultimately dropped by the accuser. That’s why there has been “no penalty.”

What the 13-year-old accusation was

In 2016, an anonymous woman using the names “Katie Johnson” and later “Jane Doe” filed civil (not criminal) lawsuits accusing:

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of raping and sexually assaulting her in 1994 at Epstein’s Manhattan residence when she was 13 years old. Wikipedia

The complaints alleged that she was recruited to attend parties at Epstein’s home, where other underage girls were present, and that Trump had sexual contact with her at several parties, culminating in a violent rape on the last occasion, with threats to harm or kill her if she spoke out. FactCheck.org

Trump, through his attorney, categorically denied the allegations and said the story was false and politically motivated. Epstein declined to comment at the time. Wikipedia

What happened procedurally

There were three civil filings in 2016:

April 2016 – California federal suit

Filed pro se by “Katie Johnson.”

Dismissed a month later for technical/legal insufficiency (no valid federal claim, pleading issues, etc.). Wikipedia

June 2016 – New York federal suit (SDNY)

Refiled as “Jane Doe” with more detailed allegations and supporting declarations from two anonymous witnesses. Wikipedia

Voluntarily dismissed in September 2016.

September 2016 – New York federal suit re-re-filed

Again in SDNY, with similar allegations. Courthouse News

A press conference was scheduled for early November 2016 with attorney Lisa Bloom, but the accuser abruptly canceled, reportedly citing death threats. The Guardian

On November 4, 2016, just days before the election, she voluntarily dismissed the case yet again. There is no public record of any settlement; it simply ended. People.com

A later investigation by The Guardian and others said the lawsuits’ promotion appeared to involve a controversial ex–TV producer, Norm Lubow, who had previously been associated with sensationalized celebrity claims. That raised questions about the political and media orchestration around the case, but does not by itself prove the allegations true or false. Wikipedia

Why there was “no penalty”

In U.S. law, nothing happens to a defendant just because a complaint is filed:

No criminal case was ever brought.
The accusations were never charged by any prosecutor as a crime. Without criminal charges, there can be no conviction, sentence, or “penalty.”

The civil cases were all voluntarily dismissed by the accuser before:
service was fully completed in some instances,
discovery, and
trial or even a ruling on the merits.

When a plaintiff dismisses their own suit at an early stage, the court never makes factual findings about whether the alleged events occurred. The legal posture becomes: case gone, no adjudication, no liability, no exoneration either.

There are also statute-of-limitations issues for conduct alleged to have occurred in 1994, especially for criminal prosecution. Many states have extended or revived limits for child-sex-abuse cases, but it’s highly jurisdiction-specific and often requires specific revival statutes (compare New York’s Child Victims Act and Adult Survivors Act, which created temporary windows for old claims, used, for example, by E. Jean Carroll in her civil case). Wikipedia

So: no criminal charges + plaintiff ending her own civil case = no legal penalty. The only way public accusations translate into legal consequences is if:

prosecutors file charges and win a conviction, or

a civil plaintiff carries a case through to judgment (or a meaningful settlement).

Both of those did happen for E. Jean Carroll’s case (civil verdicts for sexual abuse and defamation, very large damage awards), but they did not happen for the Jane Doe / 13-year-old allegation. Wikipedia

I'm a reporter at CNN, and my colleague Blake Ellis and I have read that Bill Clinton and Donald
Trump have both visited Epstein's private island. We are trying to determine whether there is any
truth to the allegations that either or both of these men may have had sexual relations with minors
while there. We know that you have been Epstein's pilot, so we're wondering if you would be willing
to speak with us completely off the record. We are not focusing on the allegations against Epstein --
we are solely focusing on Trump and Clinton given the current allegations being levied in the press.
If you don't feel comfortable sharing anything via social media or email, feel free to send us any
documentation/proof that might be helpful anonymously via mail:
