Donald Trump has branded an allegation he sexually assaulted a teenage girl “disgusting at the highest level” and suggested the civil lawsuit detailing the alleged abuse could be politically motivated.

A woman in the US has filed a $100 million lawsuit in California in which she claims Trump sexually abused her while she was a teenager, according to a report by Radar Online.

A lawyer for the Republican frontrunner has strenuously denied all of the allegations and suggested the suit could be a hoax, claiming there is no evidence to suggest the plaintiff actually exists.

The plaintiff claims Trump raped her when she was 13-years-old and forced her to engage in sex acts by threatening to harm her and her family. She claims the alleged abuse took place over a four-month period at underage sex parties held in New York City in 1994.

Documents published online suggest the plaintiff has no legal representation.

The address listed on the court documents by the plaintiff is vacant and has been unoccupied for a year, neighbours told Radar.

lan Garten, a lawyer acting for Mr. Trump told the Independent: “The allegations are not only categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, more likely, are politically motivated.

“To be clear, there is absolutely no merit to these claims and, based on our investigation, no evidence that the person who has made these allegations actually exists.”
