Donald groped me, says ex-Miss Finland
HELSINKI: An ex-Miss Finland has accused US presidential candidate Donald Trump of groping her in 2006 when she was representing the country in the Miss Universe beauty contest.
Ninni Laaksonen told the Ilta- Sanomat newspaper the Republican presidential nominee had grabbed her behind before she appeared on a TV show in New York with other contestants.
“He really grabbed my butt. I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’” she said.
The accusation follows allegations of inappropriate conduct by Trump from other women in the US which have put pressure on his campaign as he trails in opinion polls ahead of the November 8 election. – Reuters
