Statement of Jessica Drake

10 years ago, I was working for , an adult film company, at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. I was at Wicked’s booth when I met in the Celebrity Gift Room early in the morning before he teed off. He flirted with me and he invited me to walk on the golf course along with him, which I did. During that time, he asked me for my phone number, which I gave to him. Later that evening, He invited me to his room. I said I didn't feel right going alone, so two other women came with me.

In the penthouse suite, I met Donald again. When we entered the room he grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each of us on the lips without asking for permission. He was wearing pajamas. A bodyguard was also present. He asked about my job as an adult film star, about details on shooting porn and asked each of us about our personal relationships and whether we were married or single. We answered his questions. It felt like an interview. After approximately 30-45 minutes, we left his room.

After I returned to my room, I received a call from a man calling on Donald’s behalf. He said that Donald wanted me to come back upstairs to Donald’s suite. I indicated that I did not wish to return. Then Donald called. He asked me to return to his suite and to have dinner with him. He also invited me to a party. I declined. Donald then asked me “what do you want?” “How much?”

I told him that I couldn’t, because I had to return to LA for work. I said that as an excuse because I didn’t want him to continue asking me to go to his room and I didn’t want to be with him.

After that I received another call either from Donald or a male calling on his behalf offering me $10,000. I declined again and once more gave as an excuse that I had to return to Los Angeles for work. I was then told that Mr. Trump would allow me the use of his private jet to take me home if I accepted his invitation.

I did relate my experience immediately afterward to some friends. Out of respect to the other parties involved and their families, I will not share their names. I am choosing to share my personal exchange in light of the recently released tapes to lend my voice, strength, and support to the other women who are coming forward. Cumulatively, his words and actions are a huge testament to his character- that of uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement, and being a sexual assault apologist.

This is not acceptable behavior for ANYONE- much less a presidential candidate, and I realize I may be but a tiny grain of sand, but clearly this is an enormous beach. I am not looking for monetary compensation, I do not need additional fame or the type of attention this will bring. I understand that I may be called a liar or an opportunist, but I risk that in order to stand in solidarity with women who share similar accounts that span many, many years.
