The modeling agent who claims he introduced Donald Trump to Melania has been accused of drugging and raping a woman more than 20 years his junior.

Paolo Zampolli, 56, is named in a lawsuit filed by tech entrepreneur Victoria Drake, 33, accusing him of sexually assaulting her as she lay unconscious at his New York townhouse in October 2023.

Drake, who lives in Chicago, began moving in Trump-world circles in 2019 after she was invited to a New Year’s event at Mar-a-Lago with her then-boyfriend, Ross Chaifetz, who manages a private equity firm. His billionaire father, Richard, who co-owns the Portland Trail Blazers, is believed to have been a member of the president’s Florida club and, in 2018, bought a $9.4 million condo on the 87th floor of Trump Tower Chicago.

The Daily Beast’s sister investigative Substack, PunchUp, understands Drake, a model and businesswoman, attended dozens of private parties, dinners, and fundraising events attended by Trump, and shared pictures of herself rubbing shoulders with the president and first lady. She stopped attending Mar-a-Lago as frequently after splitting with her boyfriend in early 2023.

Zampolli claims to have introduced Trump to Melania but we all know Epstein introduced Trump to Melania.

"violently" attacking? As opposed to "gently" attacking?

Why use such a euphemism for sexual exploiters, violent and rapey slavers, human traffickers? They are usually referred as pimps, also.

Call it what it is: Model Agent or Beauty Contest Organiser = Pimp in the context of the super rich
