AN EX-model has alleged that Donald Trump "violated" her at a US Open tennis tournament 23 years ago.

Amy Dorris, then 24, said the alleged sexual assault happened outside the bathroom in his VIP box, says a report.

Who is Amy Dorris?

Florida woman Amy Dorris says she met Donald Trump in New York in 1997.

Dorris alleges he "came on very strong right away" – but his lawyers maintain that multiple witnesses would have seen anything improper.

She was introduced to him by her then boyfriend, Jason Binn, who described the real estate mogul as his "best friend".

The couple spent several days with him.

The Guardian reports that Trump was aged 51 and married to Marla Maples, his second wife, at the time.

Dorris's modelling career was based in Miami – where she also picked up the odd acting role – and her boyfriend had started luxury fashion and lifestyle magazines.

What allegations has Amy Dorris made against Donald Trump?

Amy Dorris alleged to the Guardian that the now-president forced himself on her outside a bathroom in his VIP box at the US Open tennis tournament.

Dorris, said that, after accosting her, Trump "just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off."

She added: "And then that’s when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything.

“I was in his grip, and I couldn’t get out of it.

"It felt like there were tentacles on me that I couldn’t rip off.

“I was trying to get his arms off of me and they would not come off because I wasn’t strong enough.

“You just picture those suction cups on an octopus and they’re stuck on you. You’re trapped. That’s how I felt.”

Dorris also alleged that she told Trump "no, please stop", but "that just didn't work out for me".

Recalling how she was "in shock", Dorris told the paper she "felt violated".

What have Trump's lawyers said about her allegations?

Trump's lawyers told the Guardian that Dorris's claims did not withstand scrutiny and that it didn't seem credible she would voluntarily spent time with him in the days after an incident like the one described.

They also said that any such behaviour would have been witnessed by other people present and questioned why the claims had never been raised with police.

Trump's lawyers also suggested the timing – days ahead of the presidential election – might be politically motivated.

Representatives for the president have been approached for comment.
