Lisa Bloom, the attorney for a woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a child, speaks to reporters after abruptly canceling a press conference. Twitter/Nancy Dillon A woman who has accused Donald Trump of raping her as a child was scheduled to appear at a press conference Wednesday, the woman's attorney announced, before the event was abruptly canceled.

The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, alleged in a June lawsuit that Trump, the Republican nominee for president, raped her in 1994, when she was 13 years old.

According to her lawsuit, the alleged incidents took place in 1994 at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein, a New York financier who in 2008 was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.

The lawsuit was amended and refiled in September.

The woman's attorney, Lisa Bloom, told reporters at the start of the conference that her client had received "numerous threats" on Wednesday.

"She is living in fear," Bloom said. "She has decided that she's too afraid to show her face."

Bloom added that the press conference would be rescheduled.

In a tweet announcing the press conference, Bloom criticized the "mainstream media" for not covering the lawsuit. Some media outlets have cited inconsistencies in the woman's story and the risk of relying on anonymous testimony without speaking to the accuser as reasons to avoid covering the case.

Trump has repeatedly and vehemently denied the claims.

"I would say the same thing I’ve said a million times. The allegations are reckless, irresponsible, and categorically untrue," Alan Garten, Trump's attorney, told BuzzFeed News in October.
