What specific allegations have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct with minors and who made them?
Executive summary
Multiple media compilations and analyses list allegations that Donald Trump committed sexual misconduct involving underage girls; reporting and summaries say “at least” two or more people have accused him of misconduct when they were minors and dozens of women have accused him of other sexual misconduct (e.g., “at least 28” or “at least 25” in different sources) [1] [2]. Coverage aggregates many accusations across decades, names several accusers and describes types of allegations but varies on which specific allegations involve minors and who made them [3] [1].
1. What the reporting says about minors: scope and numbers
Long-form and encyclopedic accounts note that some allegations relate to conduct with underage girls, but they emphasize aggregate totals more than a definitive list of minor-specific claims; Wikipedia’s relationship-with-Epstein article states that “since the 1970s, at least 28 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct” and that “women, including women who allege Trump committed sexual misconduct against them when they were minors,” have not always had legal remedies [1] [4]. Other summaries say at least 25 women have accused him of rape, assault, or harassment [2]. These counts show disagreement among compilers about the total and which allegations involve minors [1] [2].
2. Named allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein networks
Reporting highlights allegations surfaced in the context of Jeffrey Epstein’s networks and documents. Multiple sources reference women who described encounters at events or parties tied to Epstein or his associates; some accusers alleged underage girls were present and that illicit drugs or recruitment occurred, though accounts vary in specificity and sourcing [5] [1]. Media coverage warns that documents released subsequently produced claims and rumors but also that some images and claims circulating online have been debunked or remain unverified [6] [1].
3. Examples cited in public timelines and lists
The Guardian and other outlets compiled timelines documenting dozens of allegations of groping, kissing, and unwanted touching spanning the 1980s–2010s; those compendia name many accusers for adult allegations (e.g., Jessica Leeds, Karena Virginia) and describe patterns of behavior but do not uniformly mark which incidents involved minors in those public lists [3]. ABC News’ 2020 rundown lists at least 18 women who accused Trump of varying inappropriate behavior; that piece emphasizes multiple accusers but does not present a single definitive catalogue of minor-specific allegations [7].
4. Legal action and evidentiary outcomes relevant to minor claims
Most publicly litigated cases against Trump have not centered on alleged misconduct with minors; the better-documented court rulings referenced in these sources concern adult accusers and civil judgments (for example, the civil rulings upheld on appeal cited in broader timelines), while sources note that allegations involving minors have been harder to adjudicate and sometimes rely on witness statements or contemporaneous reporting rather than criminal convictions [5] [1] [2].
5. Areas of dispute, verification challenges, and misinformation risks
Compilations differ on totals and the specifics of underage allegations; some social-media-circulated images and claims have been identified as false or unverified after releases of Epstein-related documents [6]. Scholars and legal reviewers emphasize that many allegations—especially those alleging misconduct with minors—have not been resolved in court and that secrecy, nondisclosure agreements, and unverified documents complicate verification [4] [6]. Reporting also notes partisan reactions: spokespeople for Trump have called many allegations politically motivated and denied them [3].
6. What the provided sources do not establish
Available sources do not provide one authoritative, source-verified list naming every person who has alleged Trump sexually abused them as minors or a legal adjudication that confirms specific minor-age incidents; instead, they present aggregated counts, timelines, and reporting that variously state “some” accusers allege they were minors without producing an exhaustive, court-verified ledger [1] [3] [2].
7. How journalists and researchers have treated these claims
Investigative journalists and academic commentators have collected survivor statements, contemporaneous witness accounts, and secondary reporting to map patterns; they frame the Epstein connection as a locus where allegations about minors emerge, while also warning about the limits of publicly available evidence and the presence of debunked items in the public record [3] [4] [6].
Bottom line: major compilations and timelines assert that some of the allegations against Donald Trump involve underage girls and that multiple accusers have come forward, but the sources you provided do not offer a single, fully verified list of which allegations specifically name Trump as perpetrator against minors or a comprehensive legally adjudicated record of those claims [1] [3] [6].
