US President Donald Trump -- who has himself been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct -- today designated April 2018 "National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month" amid a national debate over the issue.
"Sexual assault crimes remain tragically common in our society, and offenders too often evade accountability," said a proclamation from Trump released by the White House. "These heinous crimes are committed indiscriminately: in intimate relationships, in public spaces, and in the workplace."
"My administration is committed to raising awareness about sexual assault and to empowering victims to identify perpetrators so that they can be held accountable."
Last month, Trump described allegations that he kissed a receptionist without her consent as "Another False Accusation" in a post on Twitter, calling instead for coverage of "the story of the women taking money to make up stories about me. One had her home mortgage paid off."
"I don't even wait," Trump says in the clip. "And when you're a star, they let you do it, you can do anything. Grab them by the pussy."
