Trump kid-sex accuser fears revealing self
THE WOMAN who filed a lawsuit accusing Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 dramatically backed down Wednesday from threats to go public with her allegations.
The California woman, known only as “Jane Doe,” was scheduled to break her silence in a muchhyped press conference, but she changed her mind at the last minute.

She said she was 13 at the time of the alleged attacks.
