The next time a Democrat tries to tell you that Donald Trump raped a 13 year-old associated with Jeffrey Epstein, here are the facts and why those allegations were dropped. Yes, they were dropped. And this is why: The man associated with The Jerry Springer Show who promoted her allegations was Norm Lubow, a former producer for the show. The Accuser's Identity: The woman proceeded in court primarily as "Jane Doe" or "Katie Johnson". The lawsuit, which alleged the assaults took place in 1994 when she was 13 were ultimately withdrawn or dismissed. The Producer's Role: Lubow, operating under the pseudonym "Al Taylor," acted as a publicist and aggressively shopped the accuser's testimony to various media outlets in the months leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The Aftermath: Following investigations into Lubow’s involvement, the mainstream credibility of the "Katie Johnson" lawsuits deteriorated, and the claims largely fizzled out before her legal team dropped the suits in late 2016. Detailed reporting on the origins of this case can be found on Snopes and The Guardian. “Katie Johnson” never existed.
