Trump envoy accused of drugging and raping tech entrepreneur in lawsuit

rawstory.com —

Paolo Zampolli, a Trump envoy and longtime friend, is accused in a new lawsuit of drugging and sexually assaulting tech entrepreneur Victoria Drake at his Manhattan home in October 2023. Drake alleges Zampolli gave her a drink that caused her to lose consciousness, then assaulted her while she was incapacitated. She reported the incident to police and underwent hospital exams, but no arrest occurred and Zampolli denies the claims as extortion. Zampolli, who has filed a countersuit against Drake, appears in Jeffrey Epstein files without established wrongdoing. He also faces a custody dispute with a former partner, while the White House and State Department declined to comment.
