'Don't you know who I am?' – Another woman accuses Donald Trump of sexual assault

ANOTHER woman has stepped forward to become the tenth to accuse presidential hopeful Donald Trump of sexual assault.
By Alex Hickson                                 
Karena Virginia tearfully recounted her experiences during a press conference in New York today.
And in one claim, she alleges the billionaire touched her breast and said: "Don't you know who I am?"
She claimed Mr Trump put his hand on her right breast at the US Open Tennis Tournament in 1998.
Karena explained that she was waiting for a car to take her home when she was approached by Trump and other men.

She claimed she overheard Mr Trump saying "look at those legs".
Mr Trump then walked up to her, touched her arm and grabbed her breast, Karena claimed.
She said: “I was in shock, I flinched."
She added: "‘Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who I am?,’ he said to me. I felt intimidated, I felt powerless.”
After her car pulled up and she got in she said she felt "shame"
She said: “I felt ashamed that I was wearing a short dress and high heels, that feeling of shame stayed with me for awhile, and it made me disinclined to wear short dresses or high heels.
"For a number of years afterwards I struggled with what to wear so as not to attract unwanted attention.”
Karena added that she saw Trump again a few years ago at a business event.
She said he “looked her up and down.”
Karena, a yoga instructor and life coach from New York City, says that she believes in the power of miracles and angels on her professional website.

She is the latest of 10 women who accuse Trump of sexual assault and harassment this month.
"Mr Trump, perhaps you do not remember me, or what you did to me, so many years ago, but I can assure you that I remember you and what you did to me as though it was yesterday.
"Your random moment of sexual pleasure came at my expense and affected me greatly.
"Mr Trump revealed his true character in his own words on tape which indicated he felt entitled to grab women by their private parts.”
Karena said she had not been asked to come forward, but wanted to join the other women who claim Trump sexually assaulted them.
