A woman who had accused\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday.<\/p>\n One of the accuser\u2019s attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a\u00a0one-page voluntary dismissal<\/a>\u00a0in district court in New York late on Friday. Neither he nor a second attorney listed immediately responded to questions about the document.<\/p>\n The woman, who had\u00a0filed suit<\/a>\u00a0earlier 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.<\/p>\n This week she\u00a0abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly<\/a>\u00a0about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited \u201cnumerous threats\u201d against her client.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear,\u201d Bloom said on Wednesday. Bloom\u2019s mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney\u00a0representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trump\u00a0had been given a tentative court date<\/a>\u00a0for the civil lawsuit of 16 December and has denied all the accusations made against him.<\/p>\n After\u00a0Doe\u2019s suit was filed in June<\/a>, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, told the Guardian the claims were \u201ca complete fabrication\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is basically a sham lawsuit brought by someone who desires to impact the presidential election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n A virtually identical lawsuit was\u00a0filed in April<\/a>\u00a0in California and dismissed for technical errors. An investigation linked the lawsuits to Norm Lubow, a former television producer with\u00a0a history of disputed allegations against celebrities<\/a>. Both suits named\u00a0Epstein<\/a>, a financier who was\u00a0convicted of soliciting sex from an underage girl in 2008<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n![\"Donald](\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/5d769fac433ba6e3c3607461abe4091ce99a2bed\/0_65_5472_3283\/master\/5472.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=cbaab276131f785d80a6edc05b94dc09\")
