Woman accusing Trump of raping her at 13 cancels her planned to go public
The woman known as Jane Doe pulled out of a Los Angeles press conference where she was expected to reveal her identity, citing death threats
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/02/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit-13-year-old-cancels-public-event

Instead, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras.

“Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further.”

[sarcasm]
No reason to be concerned here. This just involves the President of the United States and a proposed justice for the Supreme Court, that's all!
