Elizabeth Smart is speaking out against Donald Trump over the lewd comments he made about women in a 2005 Access Hollywood interview, and his subsequent apology in which he justified the words he used by referring to his conversation as 'locker room talk.'

The young mother, who at the age of 14 was kidnapped from her bedroom and held captive for nine months by a man who repeatedly raped her, said that Trump's dismissal of his words is dangerous to survivors of sexual abuse.

'The worst part about it is listening to people trying to belittle it, just saying, "Well, it's locker-room talk, it's locker-room banter,"' said Smart, 28, in an interview with The Salt-Lake Tribune.

'Anyone belittling sexual violence, sexual abuse, they're doing a huge disservice to victims of violent crimes, violent sexual abuse. There's no justifying it - ever.'

Speaking out: Elizabeth Smart (above in 2013) is criticizing Donald Trump for his recent comments about women which he claimed were just 'locker room talk'

Mad: 'Anyone belittling sexual violence, sexual abuse, they're doing a huge disservice to victims of violent crimes, violent sexual abuse,' said Smart (Trump above on Wednesday)

Trump was travelling to film a walk-on role on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives in 2005 when he made the comments Smart is referencing in her interview, with Access Hollywood and host Billy Bush trailing him for the day.

Trump can be heard talking about how he 'moved on' Bush's co-host nancy O'Dell depite the fact that she was married, and then discussing how she now has 'big phony t*** and everything.'

Bush could later be heard on the video calling soap star Arianne Zucker a 'hot piece of a***,' while Trump spoke about needing Tic Tacs in case the two started kissing.

It was at that point that Trump told Bush: '[W]hen you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want ... grab them by the p****.'

Smart also spoke about her belief that young women need to be more educated about rape and assault, something she wishes she knew more about when she was taken in the middle of their night from her family home.

Smart was just 14 (above after he release) when she was kidnapped)

'When I was first raped, I didn't realize there was a difference between rape and sex,' explained Smart.

'Immediately, in my little 14-year-old mind when that happened, I thought, "I'm impure. Who will ever want to marry me now?"

'If my parents knew what happened, would they even want me back, or would they think, "Good thing we had six kids cause we still have five others?"'

The interview took place in Smart's hometown of Park City, where she lives with her husband and daughter Chloe.

She was joined by Chris Hansen, who was taping a special episode of his show Crime Watch Daily With Chris Hansen about Smart's new role on the program as a special correspondent.

In her first appearance on the show last month, Smart interviewed one of the women who claims she was sexually assaulted by alleged serial rapist Marc Winner.

At the end of the episode, Smart went to Winner's home to confront him while he is out on parole as he awaits his trial.

Smart was kidnapped from her bed in August 2002 and held captive for nine months before she was discovered by police.

She was found alive in March of the following year in Sandy, Utah, and Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee were arrested for abducting the teenager.

Mitchell, who raped Smart repeatedly during her captivity, is currently sevring life in prison.
