'He repeatedly grabbed my a** and invited me to his hotel room': The six new women who have come forward claiming they were kissed or groped against their will by Donald Trump tell their stories
- Temple Taggert, who competed as Miss Utah in the 1997 Miss USA pageant claims that Trump kissed her on the lips against her will
- Cassandra Searles, who served as Miss Washington in the 2013 pageant, claims that Trump 'grabbed her a**' and invited her back to his hotel room
- Natasha Stoynoff was interviewing Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in 2005 when she claims that Trump began 'forcing his tongue down [her] throat'
- Mindy McGillivray claims she was also at Mar-a-Lago when she was groped by Trump in 2003
- Rachel Crooks claims Trump kissed her on the lips against her will in 2005
- Jessica Leeds alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her on a plane three decades ago
Six women have come forward claiming they were groped or kissed by Donald Trump against their will, just days after he denied ever participating in that sort of behavior.
Trump was forced to deny that he had ever assaulted a woman in the wake of a 2005 interview with Access Hollywood, in which he was captured on audio saying to host Billy Bush: 'I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet.
'Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.'
He said in the wake of the tape's release that his comments were nothing more than locker room talk.'
Trump has also denied the claims being made by these six women in interviews, on Twitter and through his lawyers.

Number one: Jessica Leeds (above) said that Trump 'grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt' on a flight more than three decades ago
Quote: 'He was like an octopus,' Leed (above on Wednesday) told the Times. 'His hands were everywhere'
Jessica Leeds
Jessica Leeds, a 74-year-old former businesswoman who lives in Manhattan, recalled her encounter with Trump to the New York Times.
Leeds told the newspaper she was 'assaulted' by Trump on a flight when she was 38.
She explained how she was sat beside the Republican nominee in first class, when he lifted the arm-rest between then and allegedly began touching her.
'He was like an octopus,' said Leeds. 'His hands were everywhere.'
Leeds, who told the newspaper the incident 'was an assault', said she rushed to the back of the plane to escape Trump's advances.
She also said that when she heard Trump deny ever touching a woman aginst her will on Sunday night she wanted 'to punch the screen' of her television.
Number two: The second woman who is claiming she was touched inappropriately by Trump is Rachel Crooks (above)
No go: Crooks (on right) says Trump kissed her on the mouth without permission while in an elevator
Rachel Crooks
The second woman the newspaper claims was touched inappropriately by Trump is Rachel Crooks.
Crooks was a 22-year-old working as a receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate company based in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she says Trump kissed her on the mouth without permission while in an elevator in 2005.
'It was so inappropriate,' said Crooks. 'I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that.'
Crooks told the newspaper the incident took place after she shook hands with Trump in an elevator and he allegedly refused to let go. She says he then began kissing her on the cheeks, before then kissing her lips.
Trump responded by writing on Twitter Thursday: 'The phony story in the failing @NYTimes is a TOTAL FABRICATION. Written by same people as last discredited story on women. WATCH!'
Third claims: Mindy McGillivray (pictured) said Trump grabbed her backside after she helped a photographer who was covering a concert at Trump's Palm Beach manor
Mindy McGillivray
Mindy McGillivary was the third woman to accuse the Republican nominee told her story to the Palm Beach Post, saying she was groped by Trump 13 years ago at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
The 36-year-old said that Trump grabbed her backside after she helped a photographer who was covering a concert at Trump's Palm Beach manor.
McGillivray, who was 23 at the time, said she was with Ken Davidoff at the Mar-a-Lago on January 24, 2003.
'All of a sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it’s Ken’s camera bag, that was my first instinct,' she told the newspaper. 'I turn around and there’s Donald. He sort of looked away quickly.'
McGillivray said she became furious when she saw Trump claim during the second presidential debate that he had never groped a woman inappropriately, and immediately began to consider sharing her story.
'It’s a respect issue for all women. If something like this happens to you, you should speak up,' she said, according to the Palm Beach Post.
She also admitted to the newspaper she has a lengthy criminal record, and understands that it will likely be brought up in the wake of her making the allegations against Trump.
McGillivray has two felony arrests, and was arrested on DUI and child neglect charges in 2012.
Unwanted kiss: The fourth woman was People writer Natasha Stoynoff (above), who claims Trump shoved his tongue down her throat
Natasha Stoynoff
The fourth woman to bring new allegations against Trump is Natasha Stoynoff, a writer with People.
Stoynoff recounted how she had traveled to Mar-a-Largo to interview Trump and his wife, Melania, in December 2005.
'Our photo team shot the Trumps on the lush grounds of their Florida estate, and I interviewed them about how happy their first year of marriage had been,' she wrote in People.
'When we took a break for the then very-pregnant Melania to go upstairs and change wardrobe for more photos, Donald wanted to show me around the mansion.
'There was one "tremendous" room in particular, he said, that I just had to see.
'We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat.
'I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.'
Stoynoff went on to detail how her 'self-esteem crashed to zero' as a result of the alleged attack, which she struggled to get her head around.
'How could the actions of one man make feel so utterly violated?' she wrote.
'I’d been interviewing A-list celebrities for over 20 years, but what he’d done was a first. Did he think I’d be flattered?'
The writer then explained how she tried to get on with the task at hand, interviewing the Trumps, before Donald said something as they were again alone, waiting for Melania.
'Trump smiled and leaned forward. "You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?" he declared. "Have you ever been to Peter Luger’s for steaks? I’ll take you. We’re going to have an affair, I’m telling you."'
Trump responded to the claim on Twitter Thursday by writing: 'Why didn't the writer of the twelve year old article in People Magazine mention the "incident" in her story. Because it did not happen!'
Speaking up: The fifth woman to claim Trump acted inappropriately towards her is Cassandra Searles (above)
Back in the day: Searles, who won Miss Washington in 2013, shared a picture of the other models who took part in the Trump-owned pageant in 2013 on Facebook (above)
Allegation: 'He probably doesn’t want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my a** and invited me to his hotel room,' said Searles
Cassandra Searles
The fifth woman to claim Trump acted inappropriately towards her is Cassandra Searles.
She first shared her story earlier this year, but her claims were highlighted in the wake of Wednesday's allegations.
Searles, who won Miss Washington in 2013, shared a picture of the other models who took part in the Trump-owned pageant in 2013 on Facebook and included a caption saying the Republican nominee treated them 'like cattle'.
'Do y’all remember that one time we had to do our onstage introductions, but this one guy treated us like cattle and made us do it again because we didn’t look him in the eyes?' she wrote in June.
'Do you also remember when he then proceeded to have us lined up so he could get a closer look at his property?
'Oh I forgot to mention that guy will be in the running to become the next President of the United States.'
Searles took her comments a step further replying to a comment on the picture, claiming Trump groped her and tried to seduce her.
'He probably doesn’t want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my a** and invited me to his hotel room,' said Searles.
Difficult talk: Temple Taggart (above) got emotional as she spoke, the sixth woman to come forward with claims
Not warranted: Taggart said that Trump kissed her on the lips despite not knowing her (Taggart above with Trump and then wife Marla Maples)
Temple Taggart
The sixth women to speak out is Temple Taggart, who like Searles competed in the Miss USA pageant and was a contestant the first time that she claims Trump kissed her against her will.
Taggart told the New York Times earlier this year that Trump kissed her on the lips during the pageant, but shared more about her story in the wake of his comments during Sunday night's debate.
'When I first heard the leaked tape, it's very unsettling... you don't want to hear anyone talking about women like that,' said Taggart.
'You look at your sweet, little innocent daughter and think, "this is the world I'm raising her in."'
She claims that her father saw Trump during rehearsal for the pageant and decided to get his attention so that his daughter could met the billionaire businessman.
'It was at that time that he turned to me and embraced me and gave me a kiss on the lips,' said Taggart.
'I remember feeling kind of embarrassed, like wanting to turn and wipe my mouth, like, "What just happened?"' said Taggart.
This happened again when she went to New York City to meet Trump soon after she told NBC News.
'I remember immediately thinking, what does he think this is?' said Taggart, who added that the kiss was the kind one would give their boyfriend.
Her chaperone told her that she was not to be alone with Trump after witnessing the kiss.
Taggart - who said she is not a fan of Hillary Clinton - then broke down thinking about her young daughter ever having to experience something like she did with Trump.
'You have the right to say no. You have the right to get out of there. You have the right to leave, and you have the right to make them feel uncomfortable if they're making you feel uncomfortable,' said Taggart.
'I don't care what you have to do — you just get yourself out of the situation.'
Trump responded to Taggart's accusation by saying: 'I don't know anything about her. I don't even know who she is.'
