robby8584 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Donald Trump and the White House have broken their silence on where they stand on the Roy Moore scandal by refusing to call on him to drop out of the race, which resulted in the president getting lit up on Twitter. http://bit.ly/2zGo3xL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1997: Quote Trump created discomfort for at least five teenage Miss USA contestants—including one who was as young as 15—when he visited their dressing room as they were changing. “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” former Miss Vermont Teen USA Mariah Billado told Buzzfeed. His response, according to Billado, was something along the lines of “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” Other contestants referred to the incident to Buzzfeed as "shocking" and "creepy." https://www.glamour.com/story/a-history-timeline-of-donald-trump-sexual-assault Trump is accused of forcibly raping a 13 year old girl in 1994.

Craig234 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Well, pedophiles are actually about prepubescent children; when trump 'made a suggestive remark' about a ten year old girl, it was lecherous and disgusting, but the remark was about dating her when she's 18, not then. The teen usa thing seems like lechery of convenience - that's who was there. I don't see evidence of his pursuing sex with children. The exception being the reported rape you mention of a 13 year old. That is all kinds of bad, but his pattern of behavior suggests bad things other than pedophilia.

But these are girls. In the eyes of the law and by their ages, they can be assumed not to have reached full sexual maturity. We, as laymen, are not held to the rigorous standards of proof a criminal trial demands. Nor do we need to stipulate punishment, in case of guilt, as a court would do. Instead, we are free to speculate, based on a broad range of what we know Trump has said and done. And it's not as if there was no evidence. Trump has been sexually promiscuous and usually pursues what he wants by hook or by crook. I submit that in addition to whatever other sleazy things he is, Trump is also a pedophile. Based on what we see now, it would not be at all surprising if more evidence comes to light in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig234 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Paris Hilton doesn't hold up, either. She was an adult when he spoke, and he specifically said he was NOT 'into that' regarding when she was younger. “Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton,” he said. “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’” “Did you wanna bang her?” Stern asked. “Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested,” Trump said, “I’ve never been into that ... but she was beautiful.” Pedophilia is an orientation. It's constant over years. So there's going to be a much bigger pattern. It's not about a criminal trial proof. His comments are disgusting - but note they're of the 'when they're older' variety about young girls. Pedophiles find them sexually attractive when they're YOUNGER, and NOT when they're older. Trump is lecherous, not a pedophile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludog Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Craig234 said: Trump is lecherous, not a pedophile. Lecherous? Agreed. Not a pedophile? Probably is. There is a law suit brought against Trump, happening now, claiming he forcibly raped a thirteen year old girl in 1994. Two women signed affadavits saying they were eyewitness to the event. If Trump is found to have committed the act, he will, by law be adjudged a child molester. If it is found that the suit has no basis in fact, the issue will be muddied unless new accusations and lawsuits appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig234 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'd agree he'd be a 'child molester' if he forcibly raped a 13 year old girl; that wouldn't make him a pedophile, which would mean that he has always been sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children.

Being attracted to pre-pubescent children and carrying out the fantasy in reality, is the psychological interpretation of a child molester. But the law interprets the same set of motives, applied to a minor; That is, a child less than 18 years old. My bets are on a decision that Trump is culpable of the rape and must pay damages. We will see. So far, this case has been, mostly, swept under the rug. But if Trump is found to have done the heinous deed, I think it will go viral.

bludog Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Unfortunately, under numerous death threats and fearing for her life, the alleged victim dropped her lawsuit last year. http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-rape-sexual-assault-minor-wife-business-victims-roy-moore-713531 Quote In 1994, Trump went to a party with Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire who was a notorious registered sex offender, and raped a 13-year-old girl that night in what was a "savage sexual attack," according to a lawsuit filed in June 2016 by "Jane Doe." The account was corroborated by a witness in the suit, who claimed to have watched as the child performed various sexual acts on Trump and Epstein even after the two were advised she was a minor. "Immediately following this rape Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed," Jane Doe wrote in the lawsuit, filed in New York. The lawsuit was dropped in November 2016, just four days before the election, with Jane Doe's attorneys citing "numerous threats" against her. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/02/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit-13-year-old-cancels-public-event Quote A woman who is suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her as a child abandoned a plan to speak publicly on Wednesday, citing death threats. The woman, known by the pseudonym Jane Doe, hid from media who were invited to her lawyer’s Los Angeles office for a press conference in which she was expected to reveal her identity. Instead, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras. “Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
