Update, October 13th, 10:30 a.m. ET: The Trump campaign issued a statement to Rolling Stone categorically denying these allegations and questioning the political motivation behind reporting on them, adding, “Mr. Trump has a fantastic record of empowering women throughout his career, and a more accurate story would be to show how he’s been a positive influence in the lives of so many.”

Jesus he owned it for years. I wonder just how many women he raped.

I would just like to add that if a woman consents but the only reason she has done so is because you are in a position of power over her, she did not consent. That is rape. (Obviously also goes for men, but that's not really relevant in this context.)

Edit: I see that the article isn't about women; it's about girls. Even worse. They can't consent for multiple reasons, and yes, you're a pervert and a creep if you willfully and repeatedly walk in on them while they're naked, and especially expecting them to lavish you with attention.

If you have not heard the Stormy Daniels interview with Rachel Maddow, it should be on your to do list. Stormy does a good job of telling us why she wasn't raped by Trump but Maddow does a good job of telling her what you just said. And it is a very powerful moment.

It's pretty scary to imagine how many people have been victimized by him in his lifetime.

I feel greasy just thinking about this and I haven't even opened the article yet.

Edit:

Dixon went on to say that employees of the Miss Universe Organization encouraged the contestants to lavish Trump with attention when he came in. “To have the owner come waltzing in, when we’re naked, or half-naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention…”

Disgusting. These pageants should be outlawed, at least for minors. So many of these girls are groomed from a very young age to be the perfect, compliant little beauty queen. They don't stand a chance against someone like Trump.

Who was working there, Ghislaine Maxwell?

Is there a collection of all the audio tapes mentioned? I've been looking but can't find some of them. The TMZ one for example from 2009 is a dead link and I can't find any actual recording of it.
