A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday. [...] The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model.

This week she abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited "numerous threats" against her client. "She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear," Bloom said on Wednesday. Bloom's mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.
