Today, Trump, 69, issued a furious denial of the legal claims which he believes are an elaborate political smear campaign as he leads the Republican race for the White House.

He Daily Mail o­nline: 'The allegations are not o­nly categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated. There is absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period.'

Questions have also been raised by a political source who told the publication that the allegations were 'a desperate plot to try and ruin Donald.'

In her legal complaint, Johnson makes shocking and unproven claims that Trump and Epstein 'sexually and physically' abused her and threatened to harm her or her family if she didn't comply.

And Ms Johnson also claims in the legal complaint that she and a third 'sex slave' – also aged 13 - gave Trump and Epstein naked, sexually charged massages in the same room of the Manhattan residence during o­ne of the parties.

'The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was subject to extreme sexual and physical abuse by both defendants, including rape,' the lawsuit states.

It added: 'The Plaintiff Katie Johnson, was enticed with promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of underage sex parties at the Manhattan residence of Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, and attended by Defendant, Donald J. Trump.'

The legal papers were filed Thursday at a court in southern California.

The five-page document is publicly accessible, but Daily Mail o­nline has been unable to immediately verify any of the allegations made.

Today Trump issued a furious denial of the claims which he believes are an attempt to smear him as he leads the Republican race for the White House (pictured giving a foreign policy speech at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, Wednesday)

The lawsuit does state, however, that a New York 'party planner' who spent ten years working for Epstein, is willing to give testimony in support of Ms Johnson.

The complaint identifies the woman only as Tiffany Doe, a 'trusted employee' of Epstein's, and claims that Doe can confirm all of Ms Johnson's allegations.

The lawsuit states that between June and September of 1994, Ms Johnson was 'enticed' by convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, 63, to attend 'underage sex parties' and during this period it is alleged Trump attended the parties and met Ms Johnson o­n several occasions.

At the parties, it's claimed 'scores of teenagers and pre-teen girls' were used as sex slaves by Epstein and his business associates, 'including Defendant Trump', according to the paperwork.

'On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with her hand o­n his erect penis until he achieved sexual orgasm,' the lawsuit states.

During a second alleged encounter with Trump Ms Johnson alleges in the lawsuit that she was forced to 'orally copulate' the real estate mogul and o­n a third occasion she was forced to perform 'an unnatural lesbian sex act' for Trump with a fellow minor aged just 12, identified in the suit o­nly as Maria Doe.

'After this act both minors were forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump,' the suit stated, adding: 'After zipping up his pants, Defendant Trump pushed both minors to the floor while angrily berating them about the quality of their sexual performance.'

On the fourth and final alleged encounter, Ms Johnson claims in her lawsuit she was tied to a bed by Trump and 'forcibly raped' by the billionaire.

The suit alleges that Trump refused to wear a condom during the violent 'rape' despite Johnson's pleas.

'Defendant Trump slapped the Plaintiff Johnson in the face with his open hand and angrily stated that he would do whatever he wanted and that he was in charge,' the suit states.

'After achieving sexual orgasm,' the lawsuit also claims, 'defendant Trump put his clothes back o­n and when the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, sobbed about being afraid that Defendant Trump had impregnated her, Defendant Trump angrily threw $100 bills at her and screamed at her 'to get a f***ing abortion' with the money.'

In the complaint, Johnson also alleges she was sexually abused by Epstein himself o­n three different occasions during the same four month period, including o­ne savage attack during which she was beaten and 'raped and sodomized' by the billionaire.

In more lurid and unsavory claims, she alleges she was forced to give Epstein a full-body massage while he was naked and repeatedly told to touch his erect penis while he masturbated.

And then she was forced in to the humiliating and degrading act of cleaning up Epstein's semen with her bare hands, according to the paperwork.

The suit alleges that Ms Johnson was forced to perform the sex acts through threats of 'physical harm' to her and her family.

Following o­ne round of abuse which allegedly involved both Epstein and Trump receiving massages from Ms Johnson and another underage girl, Ms Johnson recalls in the lawsuit, how the two men began to row over who would take her virginity first.

On another occasion the row bubbled to the surface o­nce again.

'Defendant, Donald J.Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein as a 'Jew Bastard' as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky o­ne to 'pop the cherry' of Plaintiff Johnson, according to the suit.

The lawsuit claims that it was in fact, it was Trump who took the young girl's virginity.

'Plaintiff Johnson had been brutally and savagely raped by defendant Trump,' it states.

Enraged at this discovery, the suit adds, Epstein himself violently raped Ms Johnson and attempted to sodomize her.

During the attack Epstein, the suit alleges, 'attempted to strike her about the head with his closed fists', before she managed to break away.

Ms Johnson was repeatedly warned, the suit claims, that should she ever reveal any details of the sexual and physical abuse, she and her family would be in 'mortal danger'.

The 'party planner', Tiffany Doe, was there to witness the incidents with Trump, according to the document.

It states: 'Tiffany Doe was physically present at each of the four occasions of sexual abuse by Defendant Trump upon the person of Plaintiff Johnson, as it was her job to witness all of the sexual escapades of Epstein's guests at these underage sex parties and later reveal all of the sordid details directly to Defendant Epstein.'

It added that Epstein had also demanded that she listen in to the encounters explaining that 'knowledge is king' in the financial world and that he wanted to 'accumulate inside business knowledge'.

The suit explains that despite 'terroristic' threats from Epstein to prevent her from publicly revealing the 'sex parties' Tiffany Doe refuses to be silent any longer.

It states: 'Tiffany Doe will testify to the fact that Plaintiff Katie Johnson was lucky to have survived to tell of the sexual and physical of the horrors that she suffered at the hands of Defendant Epstein and Defendant Trump,' the lawsuit states.

The suit is asking the court for relief against Trump and Epstein in the amount of $100million. 

According to the court listing the lawsuit was self-filed by Ms Johnson, who will be 34 today – not an attorney - suggesting she does not yet have legal representation.

Ms Johnson, who told the court she had o­nly $300 to her name in savings, had listed her home address in court documents as an empty, foreclosed property in Twentynine Palms, Califorinia, according to Radar.

Epstein was arrested in 2006 (pictured in undated mugshots) and accused of sexual abuse by 40 different women, with many alleging they were teenagers at the time, some younger than 14

Neighbors say the home has lay empty since the death of its owner David Stacey in October last year. The property went into default soon after and o­n on April 11 - 15 days before the woman filed her suit - the bank officially foreclosed. 

The lawsuit will undoubtedly raise a few eyebrows among the political establishment. 

Epstein was arrested in 2006 and accused of sexual abuse by 40 different women, with many alleging they were teenagers at the time, some younger than 14. 

In February Trump brought up Epstein and dragged former President Bill Clinton in to Epstein's seedy world.

Clinton has 'a lot of problems coming up in my opinion with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein. A lot of problems,' Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Trump has distanced himself from the financier, who pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute.

But in 2002 Trump hinted that their friendship was quite close.

'I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,' Trump told New York Magazine.

'He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are o­n the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.'

It's ten years since Epstein was first investigated when police were tipped off that women working as assistants to Epstein were procuring underage girls to give him sexual massages.

As the inquiry unfolded detectives spoke with dozens of girls, some of whom were 15 or younger.

Many of the allegations against Epstein resurfaced last year when Virginia Roberts, now 31, filed a lawsuit claiming to have been Epstein's sex slave.

Trump (pictured at the TIME Gala with wife Melania where he was honored as o­ne of the top 100 most influential people in the world) has said he believes the claims are part of an elaborate political smear campaign

She went o­n to allege that in 2001 when she was an underage teenager she had sex with Epstein's o­ne-time friend Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

The allegations were vehemently denied by the Duke and were removed from court records following a federal judge's ruling in April last year.

Court papers lodged in Florida had accused Prince Andrew of having sex with Miss Roberts when she was 17.

She claimed that under the orders of Epstein she was 'forced' to have sex with the prince three times in 2001 - in London, New York and o­n Epstein's Caribbean island.

Her accusations were part of submissions made by lawyers acting for Miss Roberts who wanted to join an existing civil lawsuit launched by two other women.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra refused Miss Roberts permission to join the lawsuit and said in his written judgment that the sex abuse details had no bearing o­n the lawsuit's goal of reopening the Epstein non-prosecution agreement.

As for Epstein he has been dogged by the scandal of sexual abuse ever since he struck an infamous plea bargain.

In July last year a judge released a cache of court documents from Epstein's 2008 plea deal that showed prosecutors suspected the financier of abusing up to 40 underage girls – but failed to charge him.

Instead he was sentenced to just eighteen months in prison for a misdemeanor - soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.

He was released after 13 months for good behavior. He is a registered sex offender.
