'HE GRABBED ME LIKE AN OBJECT'

ANOTHER woman comes forward to claim Donald Trump groped her outside the US Open tennis tournament

Karena Virginia sobbed as she recalled how she 'flinched' when the billionaire 'touched her breast'

ANOTHER woman has come forward and accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her, claiming he touched her breast.

Karena Virginia came forward on Thursday and spoke out at press conference in the US, sobbing as she recalled the moment the billionaire 'groped' her.

Tears streaming down her cheeks she said: "I have been fearful of bringing unwanted attention to my loving family and me.

"But in the end, I feel that it is my duty as a woman, as a mother, a human being and as an American citizen to speak out and tell the truth."

She said the assault happened in 1998, when she was waiting for a car to pick her up from the US Open which was held in Queens, New York.

She recalled: "I knew who he was, but I had never met him. He was with a few other men.

"I was quite surprised when I overheard him talking to the other men about me.

"He said, 'Hey, look at this one, we haven't seen her before. Look at those legs.' As though I was an object, rather than a person."
