The adult film star is the 11th woman to accuse Donald Trump of inappropriate behaviour - here's what you need to know
PORN star Jessica Drake has become the 11th women to accuse potential President Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual conduct - but what else do we know about her?
On Saturday October 22, the adult film star publicly added her name to the increasingly growing list of women accusing Trump, 70, of unwanted sexual advances - here's what we know.
Who is Jessica Drake?
Jessica Drake, 42, is an award-winning American porn actress, writer, director, entrepreneur and sex educator.
The 42-year-old, from Texas, first became involved in the adult film industry in 1999 and signed an exclusive contract with Wicked Pictures in 2003.
The American pornographic film studio is one of the most successful in the U.S. industry and it's the only heterosexual studio to maintain a condom-only policy.
Over the years, Jessica has appeared in 355 films and directed 14 of her own movies and last week she opened an online sex store as a new career venture.
When did the alleged incident occur?
During the news conference in Los Angeles, with her attorney Gloria Allred, the porn actress claimed she was working at the event in Lake Tahoe, Texas, when the incident occurred.
"Ten years ago, I was working for Wicked Pictures, an adult film company, at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe," the adult film star told reporters at the press conference.
"I was at Wicked's booth when I met Donald Trump in the celebrity gift room early in the morning before he teed off. He flirted with me and invited me to walk along the golf course with him, which I did.
"During that time, he asked me for my phone number, which I gave to him. Later that evening, he invited me to his room. I said I didn't feel right going alone, so two other women came with me.
"In the penthouse suite, I met Donald again," continued Jessica.
"When we entered the room, he grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission.
"We answered his questions. It felt like an interview. About 30 or 45 minutes later, we left his room."
Jessica then says she retired back to her bedroom before receiving a call from a man asking for her on Trump's behalf, "He said Donald wanted me to come back upstairs to Donald's suite." she explained.
"I indicated I did not wish to return. Then Donald called. He asked me to return to his suite and have dinner with him.
"He also invited me to a party; I declined. Donald then asked me, 'What do you want? How much?' I told him that I couldn't because I had to return to L.A. for work.
"After that, I received another call from either Donald, or a male calling on his behalf, offering me $10,000. I declined again and once more gave, as an excuse, that I had to return to Los Angeles for work.
"I was then told Mr. Trump would allow me to use his private jet only if I accepted his private invitation."
Why is she going public with it now?
Recently, Jessica and 10 other sexual misconduct accusers have all spoken out in light of the resurfacing of a 2005 video, during which Trump can be heard bragging about groping women.
The clip, which was obtained by The Washington Post earlier this month, captures Trump boasting about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with a married woman.
Before continuing to say, "I moved on her like a b****, but I couldn't get there and she was married."
Speaking of her decision to come forward, Jessica said: "I am choosing to share my personal exchange in light of the recently released tapes in order to lend my voice, my strength and my support to the other women who are coming forward.
"Collectively, his words and his actions are a huge testament to his character, that of uncontrollable entitlement, misogyny and a sexual assault apologist.
"I realize that in the situation I may be but a tiny grain of sand, but clearly this is an enormous speech. I am not looking for monetary compensation.
"I do not need additional fame or the type of attention that this is sure to bring. I understand that I may be called a liar or an opportunist, but I will risk that in order to stand in solidarity with women who share similar accounts that span many, many years."
What has Donald Trump said about the allegations?
The billionaire businessman says he will sue all of the accusers once the presidential race is run.
Jessica Drake claims Trump started making advances towards her as soon as they met.
A year before the alleged offer, he had married third wife Melania.
"His words and actions are a huge testament to his character — that of uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement and being a sexual assault apologist," said Jessica.
"What is a surprise, or should I say a disappointment, is that his wife Melania is choosing to collude with him and turn a blind eye to what is unacceptable behaviour from any man", writes Karren.
"'I believe my husband,' she told Anderson Cooper, who interviewed her on CNN television.
"During the final presidential debate last Wednesday, Trump declared the claims against him were such fabrications that, “I didn’t even apologise to my wife”.
