It’s certainly no secret that the current president of the United States is a creep.

Over the course of his life, Donald Trump has had more than 25 allegations of rape or sexual assault lodged against him. The recollections from a then-13-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein during a private party in the 1990s are enough to make your skin crawl and your stomach churn if you have even a shred of a conscience at all.

And frankly, that’s only the things we know about so far.

Recently, three journalists with The Guardian conducted “a special investigation” into Trump’s time as a judge for the world’s biggest modeling competition. The publication spoke with numerous sources that were around Trump during the time in question, and the allegations that came out of the investigation are enough to make the strongest of stomachs lose their lunch.

The investigative report begins by touching on the first competition hosted by Trump in 1991, before going on to detail:

In 1992, Trump hosted the competition again. On a similarly golden evening in early September that year, another group of contestants boarded the Spirit of New York, chartered for another Elite cruise. One of the girls on the boat was Shawna Lee, then a 14-year-old from a small town outside Toronto. She recalls how the contestants were encouraged to parade downstairs, one by one, and dance for Trump, Casablancas and others. Lee, an introverted teenager who loved to draw but hated school, was in New York for the first time. ‘A woman at the agency was pushing me,’ she recalls. ‘I said to her, “I don’t see why me going down the stairs and dancing in front of those two has anything to do with me becoming a model.” And she said, “No, you look great, take off your blazer and go and do it.” So I walked down the stairs. I didn’t dance – I blew a kiss at them, spun around and walked away.'”

Yet another contestant for the massive competition, who was a mere 15 years old at the time, also recalled being told to walk for Donald Trump and the various other men he had with him. The woman alleged that the organizer made it very clear to her — if you refuse to participate in the walk, you’re out of the competition.

“I knew in my gut it wasn’t right,” the woman recollected when speaking with The Guardian. “This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment.”

The remainder of the in-depth, investigative report goes on to describe multiple cases of abuse and power plays by Donald Trump and his friends. Frankly, the report will stick with you for weeks and months to come. It’s impossible to forget.

Let this serve as a reminder that our “President” is nothing more than a rapist.
