A woman alleged he had raped her when she was 13 in the context of a civil complaint, not a criminal law enforcement charge or indictment.

The accusations were indeed made, but you have to use the proper language for accuracy nonetheless.

Lawsuit Charges Donald Trump with Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl

That's not a charge in the legal sense, as in "the district attorney today filed charges against...."

Snopes ought to do something about that.

Not to detract from the seriousness of the accusations, but it's still important to maintain honesty about the facts.

According to Trump, all these women lied about him to damage his campaign, but he has done more to attack a Gold Star father and the father of a basketball player.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “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.”

If he was pervert enough to walk into the dressing room of the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant then there's no telling how far he went. Perhaps he acquired the contest for that purpose. Like other victims, they may have been too scared to say anything.
