More women accuse Donald Trump of unwanted sexual touching

While Mr. Trump said the video was just talk and he had never behaved in this way, several women subsequently went public with allegations of sexual misconduct against the NY real estate magnate going back three decades.

Trump has denied the accusations of sexual misconduct and said the women are liars.

Zervos is the 13th woman to come forward with allegations against Trump, ranging from claims that he walked in on teen beauty pageant contestants as they changed clothes to allegations that he forced himself on them.

Zervos said that she agreed to meet with Trump in Los Angeles.

Summer Zervos appeared at a news conference today with attorney Gloria Allred.

Zervos said she made a decision to speak out after hearing Trump deny - during last Sunday's debate - that he had ever behaved like a sexual predator.

Trump indicated he welcomed the chance to answer the allegations and even suggested that one of the women wasn't attractive enough to draw his attention.

Zervos was eliminated from the TV competition "The Apprentice" but says she continued seeing the multimillionaire since he acted as her mentor and she hoped there was a chance to work for him. But that was before a series of encounters in which she alleges Trump sexually harassed and assaulted her, kissing her on the lips and groping her breasts and body.

He also asked his supporters to boycott People magazine after a reporter alleged Trump began kissing her without her consent in 2005 when the two were alone for an interview at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Trump later responded to Zervos in a statement Friday, saying he "vaguely" remembered her.

Allred says her client told her parents and others about the incident shortly after it occurred.

The denial of Anderson's claim is similar to ones the Trump campaign has offered this week as other women have come forward this week to accuse Trump of kissing or groping them without their consent.

In a story published online Friday, Kristin Anderson told The Washington Post that she was sitting on a couch with friends at a NY nightclub in the early 1990s when a hand reached up her skirt and touched her through her underwear.

It's been a tough two weeks for Mr Trump, whose campaign is struggling to recover from a video in which he brags about groping women in 2005.

"He tried to kiss me again. and I said, 'Dude, you're tripping right now, ' attempting to make it clear I was not interested", she said.

"These allegations are 100 percent false, as everybody - I think you get it".

"I am a victim of one of the great political smear campaigns in the history of our country", Mr. Trump said to a crowd of about 4,000 to 5,000 people. Five of Miss Teen USA pageant contestants alleged that Trump used to enter the dressing rooms of the girls when they were changing clothes. After getting the run-around from Trump, Zervos recalled, he ultimately told her that he was laying off "thousands of employees" and couldn't afford to hire her. "Believe me, she would not be my first choice". "I pushed his chest and said to him "get real man".

She met Donald Trump on The Apprentice.

The allegations join a growing list of claims against the Republican, who has seen his support collapse in recent days. At a rally on Friday, Trump attacked the credibility and appearance of his accusers and blamed their claims on a "rigged system" conspiring against him.
