Cleveland: An adult film star yesterday accused Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual contact, saying he touched and kissed her in 2006, further damaging the campaign of the controversial Republican presidential nominee ahead of the November 8 polls.
Jessica Drake is at least the 11th woman to publicly accuse the real estate tycoon of unwanted sexual advances since the surfacing of a 2005 'Access Hollywood' tape in which Trump brags about being able to grope and kiss women.

The 42-year-old alleged that during a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in 2006, she met Trump. She claimed that Trump asked her for her phone number and invited her to his suite the night they met in 2006. She went with two other women because, she said, she did not feel comfortable attending alone.
"He grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug, and kissed us without asking permission," said Drake, who is being represented by Gloria Allred, the women's rights attorney who has represented other women - including two other Trump accusers - in high-profile sexual assault cases.
Drake said she left after 30 to 45 minutes but later received a call from one of Trump's representatives, who invited her to his room alone. Drake declined. She added that Trump himself then got on the phone with her, asking her to come back and go to dinner or attend a party with him, but she again declined.
