Her account was also corroborated by several people she confided in about the

incident. They include a friend in New York and Dorris’s mother, both of whom
she called immediately after the alleged incident, as well as a therapist and
friends she spoke to in the years since. All said Dorris had shared with them
details of the alleged incident that matched what she later told the Guardian.

Dorris, now 48 and a mother to twin daughters, said she had considered speaking
publicly about the incident in 2016, when several women made public similar
accusations against the then Republican candidate for president. But she decided
against coming forward, in part because she thought that doing so might harm
her family.

“Now I feel like my girls are about to turn 13 years old and I want them to know
that you don’t let anybody do anything to you that you don’t want,” she said. “And
I’d rather be a role model. I want them to see that I didn’t stay quiet, that I stood
up to somebody who did something that was unacceptable.”

Dorris said she spent several days with Trump in September 1997 after being
taken to New York for a long weekend by her then boyfriend, Jason Binn. At the
time, Dorris was living with friends in Boca Raton, Florida, regularly travelling to
Miami for modelling and occasional acting work. Binn, the founder of several
luxury fashion and lifestyle magazines, was a friend of Trump; in 1999, he
reportedly described the real estate businessman as his “best friend”.
On Friday 5 September, Dorris said Binn took her to meet Trump at his office in
Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, before they went together to the US Open
in Queens.

“He came on very strong right away,” Dorris said of Trump. “It seemed typical of
a certain guy, people who just feel like they’re entitled to do what they want …
even though I was there with my boyfriend.”
