One of the women was Rachel Crooks, a receptionist at Bayrock Group (real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower), who testified that Trump kissed her on the mouth outside an elevator in 2005, according to the [New York Times] (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/13/us/politics/donald-trump-women.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news).

The third was People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff who claimed that he forced his tongue down her throat in 2005
[Natasha Stoynoff] (http://heavy.com/news/2016/10/natasha-stoynoff-people-magazine-writer-author-accuse-donald-trump-sexual-harassment-assault-accuser/) went to Mar-a-Lago to interview Donald and Melania Trump in December 2005. Here's an excerpt from her article detailing how the assault happened:
"In the early 2000s, I was assigned the Trump beat for PEOPLE magazine. For years I reported on all things Donald. Then, in December 2005, I traveled to Mar-a-Lago to interview the couple for a first-wedding-anniversary feature story."
"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.**"

The fourth woman was Jessica Leeds who told the New York Times that he was like an "octopus" because his hands were all over her
Jessica Leeds, a businesswoman at a paper company, was sitting next to Trump on a flight to New York in the early 1980s. She told The Times that he lifted the armrest and began to grope her.
"**Let me tell you what this guy is all about…** I would like to think that sharing the story would make a difference both on the election and the society's view of women to change some of the sexual behavior between men and women in both direction and I would like very much to feel like I have been a part of that."
Here's the full interview:
In another interview, Trump talked about seeing models naked behind the scenes at the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants he owned
"I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it."
"**They're standing there with no clothes and you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good**," said Trump as reported by the [New York Times] (http://www.nytimes.com/video/us/politics/100000004696546/trump-deflects-questions-on-lewd-comments.html?action=click>ype=vhs&version=vhs-heading&module=vhs®ion=title-area).

On June 2016, Slate's Stevenson [interviewed] (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/06/apprentice_crew_members_on_their_old_boss_donald_trump.html) former Apprentice crew members about their former boss Trump
A crew member told Stevenson about the time Trump hit on his 28-year-old then-girlfriend. "He made a comment about her, knowing that he was mic'd and that we'd all hear it. He said, 'Who's that hot little girl running around?' He went on, "He was always very open about describing women by their breast size."
A midlevel producer told a similar story: "We shot in Trump Tower, the control room was on the seventh floor, and he walked in one day and was talking about a contestant, saying, 'Her breasts were so much bigger at the casting. Maybe she had her period then.' He knows he's mic'd and that 30 people are hearing this, but he didn't care. That's kind of him."

In the 9 October presidential debate, Trump denied acting on the sexual touching he described in video released by The Washington Post last week
CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Trump about the video saying, "You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. Do you understand that?"
"**No, I didn't said that at all. I don't think you understood. This was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly I'm not proud of it.**"
Trump suddenly segued that he'll take care of ISIS and we should get on to "much more important things and much bigger things"
When Cooper asked Trump if what he said 11 years ago in the bus was true, where he was accidentally audio-recorded, that he kissed and groped women without their consent. Without batting an eye, Trump said: "**I have great respect for women. Nobody has more respect for women more than I do. I was embarrassed by it. But I have tremendous respect for women. And I will tell you, no I have not. I'm gonna make this country safe.**"
Here's the video Cooper was pertaining to where Trump was accidentally audio-recorded:
However, despite the allegations, Trump supporters believe that Leeds was lying because first class planes do not have armchairs
