A New York clinical psychologist has accused US President Donald Trump of sexually exploiting her when she was a child and attempting to intimidate her decades later. Dr Larissa Portnoff, a former Miss Teen USA contestant, made the allegations in a video going viral online ahead of the November 3, 2026, US midterm elections. Her claims also include alleged attempts to contact her through a political intermediary and access sealed records identifying her as "Jane Doe". "I was one of the child victims of Donald Trump beginning when I was around 8 years old," Portnoff said in the video. She alleged that the abuse began when she was eight, intensified around the age of ten and continued until she was about twelve. She further claimed that Trump targeted her again when she was 16 and 17, and that inappropriate and exploitative interactions involving him and members of his inner circle continued into her adulthood.
