A few days before President Trump heads to the U.K. to meet the queen and the prime minister, a BBC investigative program has revealed fresh allegations of sexually inappropriate actions by Trump during the 1980s and 1990s, comparing him to a predator at parties with girls as young as 14.
The report featured Monday on the BBC Panorama investigative documentary series, entitled Trump: Is the president a sex pest? included testimony from two women who said they encountered Trump at parties during his time as a real estate magnate and operator of beauty pageants.
Trumps behavior toward younger women was described by a man who attended the same parties as like that of a predator.
One of the women, Barbara Pilling, said she met Trump at a party in New York in the late 1980s while she was a young model. She alleged that then-businessman Trump asked her how old she was and approved when she said she was 17, allegedly responding: Oh, great. So you're not too old and not too young. That's just great.
Pilling said she was not the youngest girl at the party, claiming there were girls as young as 14 attending. I felt I was in the presence of a shark, Pilling said, describing Trump.
Another woman, Heather Braden, told Panorama that she saw Trump at a party in Miami in the 1990s attended by only four men and 50 female models.
I felt like a piece of meat in a market, Braden said. I could have been auctioned off in some sort of a sex slave ring.
