Stacey Williams says Donald Trump sexually assaulted her at Trump Tower in 1993 while Jeffrey Epstein stood nearby, smiling. She believes the encounter was a twisted competition between two rich & powerful men.
A Beautiful Woman in a Powerful Man’s World
In the early 1990s, Stacey Williams was a successful model whose career included appearances in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She was 25 years old, working in an industry where access, connections, and powerful men could shape a young woman’s career.
In December 1992, Williams attended a Christmas party at New York’s Plaza Hotel, hosted by Donald Trump. There, she met Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier whose extensive social connections concealed what would later become one of America’s most notorious sexual abuse scandals.
Williams began dating Epstein. At the time, his reputation as a wealthy, well-connected businessman gave little public indication of the crimes that would eventually be exposed. Epstein moved comfortably among celebrities, politicians, financiers, and models. Donald Trump was part of that world.
The two men had known each other for years. Their friendship included parties, social gatherings, and a shared interest in beautiful women. In 2002, Trump famously described Epstein as a “terrific guy” and remarked that Epstein liked beautiful women as much as he did, including women “on the younger side.”
Williams would eventually come to believe that her relationship with Epstein had placed her in the middle of something far more disturbing than a wealthy man’s social circle.
An Encounter at Trump Tower
In 1993, Epstein brought Williams to Trump Tower in Manhattan. They went to Trump’s office, where the three met.
What happened next, according to Williams, was not a misunderstanding or an awkward flirtation. It was an unwanted sexual assault.
Williams says Trump began touching her without her consent, moving his hands across her body.
“His hands were all over me,” she recalled in an interview cited by the House Judiciary report. She described Trump touching her breasts, buttocks, and hips.
What made the encounter particularly disturbing was Epstein’s reaction.
Williams says the two men continued their conversation as Trump touched her. Rather than expressing surprise or concern, they appeared amused.
She remembered both men “smiling and grinning.”
To Williams, the encounter felt staged. She was standing in Trump’s office, being touched against her will, while the man she was dating watched.
There was no indication, in her telling, that either man regarded her discomfort as important.
Epstein’s Reaction Made Everything Worse
The encounter did not end when Williams and Epstein left Trump’s office.
According to Williams, Epstein became angry with her afterward. He berated her for allowing Trump to touch her.
The accusation turned the situation upside down. Williams says Trump had touched her without her consent, yet Epstein treated her as though she had done something wrong.
Years later, Williams came to interpret the episode as a competition between the two men.
“I just think it was trophy hunting,” she said in comments cited by the House Judiciary report.
She believed Epstein enjoyed having a recognizable Sports Illustrated model on his arm, particularly one who had attracted Trump’s attention.
The incident, in her view, was less about sexual attraction than power, status, and the pleasure two wealthy men appeared to take in treating a woman as an object.
A Postcard From Donald Trump
Several months after the encounter, Williams received something unexpected from Trump: a postcard depicting Palm Beach, Florida, with Mar-a-Lago prominently featured.
Trump had written a personal message:
“Stacey, your home away from home. Love, Donald.”
The postcard became an important piece of her story.
It did not prove that Trump had assaulted her. But it provided tangible evidence of a personal connection between Trump and Williams during the period she described.
The House Judiciary report reproduces an image of the postcard alongside a 1996 photograph of Williams on page 20 of the PDF.
The message also illustrates the striking contrast between Williams’s account of the encounter and Trump’s apparently affectionate communication afterward.
For Trump, the note was casual and friendly. For Williams, it came after an experience she says left her feeling violated and humiliated.
The Friendship Behind the Allegation
Williams’s account is particularly important because it places Trump and Epstein together during a sexual assault.
The House Judiciary Democrats’ October 2026 staff report identifies Williams as one of five women who directly accused Trump of sexual assault in circumstances involving Epstein.
Her account also fits a broader pattern the report’s authors describe: young women entering the social world of wealthy businessmen through modeling, parties, and personal introductions.
The report argues that Trump and Epstein’s relationship extended beyond ordinary friendship and that the two men shared an interest in pursuing and exploiting women.
Where Is Stacey Williams Today?
Unlike several women whose identities remain concealed in the Epstein records, Stacey Williams has publicly identified herself and discussed her experience.
She has participated in interviews about Trump and Epstein and allowed her account to become part of the public record.
Editor: I am publishing these accounts of 11 women who appeared in the House Committee on the Judiciary Staff Report. Where their names are known, I am publishing them. Where they aren’t known, I am not speculating. The point of these stories is that each of these women is a real person with real experiences, real feelings, and a family. They are somebody’s daughter. They deserve to be heard.
