Another woman has come forward accusing Donald Trump of sexual assault less than 24 hours after the final presidential debate where the GOP nominee denied allegations by nine other women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.

Karena Virginia appeared alongside high-profile attorney Glorida Allred at a news conference in New York Thursday where she accused Trump of touching her inappropriately at the U.S. Open in 1998 and spoke to her like an “object” in front of several people.
“I knew who he was, but I had never met him. He was with a few other men,” Virginia said. “I was quite surprised when I overheard him talking to the other men about me. He said, ‘Hey, look at this one, we haven’t seen her before. Look at those legs.’ As though I was an object, rather than a person.”

The 45-year-old yoga instructor alleged that Trump approached her and “his hand touched the right side of my breast.”
“I was in shock. I flinched. ‘Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who I am?’ That’s what he said to me,” she recalled.

Virginia is the 10th woman to accuse the Republican presidential candidate of inappropriate sexual behaviour.
Trump campaign spokesperson Jessica Ditto denied the allegations calling them “fictional stories.”
“Discredited political operative Gloria Allred, in another coordinated, publicity seeking attack with the Clinton campaign, will stop at nothing to smear Mr. Trump,” Ditto said in a statement. “Give me a break. Voters are tired of these circus-like antics and reject these fictional stories and the clear efforts to benefit Hillary Clinton.”

Last week several women came forward with allegations against Trump, including a former contestant on The Apprentice, also represented by Allred, who claimed Trump made aggressive, unwanted sexual advances in a Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel room in 2007.
Trump denied the allegations during last night’s debate in Las Vegas calling them “lies” and “fiction.”
“Those stories are all totally false,” Trump said. “I didn’t even apologize to my wife, who is sitting right here, because I didn’t do anything. I didn’t know any of these, I didn’t see these women.”
WATCH: Hillary Clinton tore into Republican Donald Trump’s previous comments about the attractiveness of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct
Hillary Clinton fired back at Trump by repeating his public response at rallies last week where he insulted his accusers saying, “When you looked at that horrible woman last night you said, ‘I don’t think so.’… Believe me, she would not be my first choice.”
“What was his response? He held a number of big rallies where he said he could not possibly have done those things to those women because they were not attractive enough to be assaulted,” the Democratic candidate said.
“He attacked the woman reporter writing the story. Called her disgusting as he has called a number of women during this campaign,” Clinton said referring to Natasha Stoynoff, a former staff writer at People magazine who accused him of sexual misconduct. “Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger. He goes after their dignity, their self-worth. And I don’t think there is a woman anywhere who doesn’t know what that feels like.”
