Jessica Drake, who appears in pornographic movies, is the latest woman to publicly accuse the Republican nominee of unwanted sexual advances. The accusations, some dating back decades ago, have emerged in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.
Mr. Trump has vigorously denied such claims. In a statement released Saturday, the Trump campaign called Ms. Drake’s account “totally false and ridiculous.”

The studio didn’t immediately return a request for comment but features Ms. Drake on its website.
Ms. Drake said Mr. Trump invited her to his suite one evening, where she arrived with two other women. “He grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each of us on the lips without asking for permission,” Ms. Drake said.
She said Mr. Trump later called her and asked her to have dinner with him and invited her to a party. She refused but said he asked her, “What do you want? How much?”
She said she received another call “from either Donald or a male calling on his behalf offering me $10,000.” She declined, she said.
Ms. Drake didn’t say what the money was for. When asked, Ms. Allred said in an email she had no comment.
Ms. Drake provided a picture of herself standing next to Mr. Trump and smiling.
The Trump campaign said the picture is “one of thousands taken out of respect for people asking to have their picture taken with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not know this person, does not remember this person and would have no interest in ever knowing her.”
Ms. Drake said she isn’t “looking for monetary compensation” or “additional fame.”
“I understand I may be called a liar or an opportunist, but I risk that in order to stand in solidarity women who share similar accounts that span many, many years,” she said.
Ms. Allred, who calls herself “a proud supporter of Hillary Clinton,” represents other women who have made similar accusations against Mr. Trump. Ms. Allred hasn’t filed any legal action on behalf of any of the women.
She said she has “had no contact with the Clinton campaign over this, and they had no idea I was going to do this.”
