A 10th woman emerged on Thursday to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.
Yoga instructor and life coach Karena Virginia alleged the billionaire real-estate tycoon abruptly groped her right breast after commenting to other men, "Hey, look at this one.”
At a press conference with her lawyer Gloria Allred, Virginia said Trump approached her as she waited for a car to take her home from the 1998 U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York City.
"I was surprised when I overheard him talking to the other men about me. He said: 'Hey, look at this one, we haven't seen her before. Look at those legs,' as though I were an object rather than a person," Virginia said, The Guardian reports.
"He then walked up to me and reached out his right arm and grabbed my right arm. Then his hand touched the right side of my breast. I was in shock. I flinched. 'Don’t you know who I am? Don't you know who I am?' – that's what he said to me. I felt intimidated and I felt powerless. When my car pulled up and I got in, after I closed the door, my shock turned to shame."
Allred told reporters: "Her allegations demonstrate how Mr. Trump selects his victims at random."
Virginia's allegations follow charges by nine other women of inappropriate sexual behavior.
They began coming forward after the release of a 2005 video in which Trump brags to TV's Billy Bush about how he can kiss and grope women and grab the genitals and get away with it because he's a celebrity.
Trump has denied he's ever abused any women and chalked up the comments to "locker room banter."
