A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday.
One of the accusers attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a one-page voluntary dismissal in district court in New York late on Friday. Neither he nor a second attorney listed immediately responded to questions about the document.
The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model.
This week she abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited numerous threats against her client.
She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear, Bloom said on Wednesday. Blooms mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.
Trump had been given a tentative court date for the civil lawsuit of 16 December and has denied all the accusations made against him.
After Does suit was filed in June, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, told the Guardian the claims were a complete fabrication.

Can't say that I blame her. I thought she might have had a chance with two sworn eyewitnesses, but it's not worth it at this point.
