Donald Trump's Underage Sexual Assault Charges Get a Hearing Date

Trump’s chances for the presidency might be dwindling the closer we get to election day.

With Trump’s hot mic quote about sexually assaulting women swimming all over the mainstream media, it’s the cherry on top that his sexual assault case against a 13-year old Jane Doe has finally got a set court date.

Earlier this year, I wrote about these charges. The details can be seen here.

Now, Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams has set the official hearing for December 16 in a New York court. Both parties were asked to bring information forward at this hearing to assist the Court in bringing the case to a settlement or trial.

As was mentioned in my previous article, there were two witnesses, Jane Doe and Tiffany Doe. There is now a third witness, Joan Doe, who stated in a court document that, “In the 1994-95 school year, I was told by the plaintiff in Jane Doe v. Trump and Epstein (1:16-cv-04642, SDNY) that the plaintiff was subject to sexual contact by the Defendants at parties in New York City during the summer of 1994.”

As the election grows closer, these allegations and Trump stories are becoming scarier and scarier. It is always possible that these witnesses are just seeking to stir up problems within the Trump campaign, but as I said in my first article, it would be foolish to brush aside these claims as false because of the gravity of them. In fact, the gravity of them is the reason why none of them should be ignored. These are under-age sexual assault charges against the Republican candidate for President. The election is next month, and if he wins, he will be in court defending himself against these charges before his inauguration. That’s one hell of a way to start off four years as the leader of the United States.

In fact, there’s another woman bringing up claims of sexual assault by Trump. In 1992, Jill Harth and her then boyfriend were working for the American Dream Festival and trying get a deal with Trump to host one of their pageants at a Trump Hotel in Atlantic City. Apparently, during this process, Trump pursued Harth increasingly until an actual assault in his own daughter’s bedroom. Harth claimed that he reached up her legs at two business dinners and tried to get her to meet up with him at “late-night meetings.” She claims he even demanded that she sleep with him. She said that in January 1993, he forced her into his daughter’s bedroom and started kissing and groping her forcibly.

One Harth quote that strikes a serious cord is when she claimed that he truly didn’t realize how serious his actions were and he genuinely believed that she wanted him to do what he was doing. “His mind was in a totally different place than mine,” she told the New York Times’ Nick Kristof. “He thinks he’s God’s gift to women.”

Watching all the news, claims, and conspiracies involving Trump in the last couple months, this seems like a pretty believable statement. Especially after the hot mic quote that Trump is claiming was “locker room talk,” Trump seems to think that he is a gift to women, that women should let him do what he wants with them.

Moving forward with this election, any sexual assault claim with witnesses or plausible proof against Trump should be taken very seriously. This man could become the next President of the United States, and I don’t think anyone wants to live in a nation where a sexual predator is its leader.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
