Swiss former model says Trump assaulted her at 1993 New York pageant

Swiss former model Béatrice Keul says Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in 1993 at a suite in New York’s Plaza Hotel.

She says the incident happened during a beauty pageant and describes it as a brutal assault.

Keul says Trump invited her to New York for the American Dream Pageant after she became runner-up in the 1992 Miss Switzerland contest.

She says she met the late Jeffrey Epstein at the event, which brought together about 60 women.

Trump organized the pageant and also owned the Miss Universe organization, including Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.

The account links the pageant world to Epstein’s efforts to recruit young women, according to reporting on the network around him.

The account is Keul’s allegation; no response from Trump or further developments are given.
