Woman said she had Steve Wynn's child after he raped her

A woman had a child with Republican mega donor Steve Wynn after he raped her more than four decades ago, according to a recently filed police report.

The woman, whose name is redacted in the report, told cops that Wynn raped her at least three times at her apartment in Chicago in the early 1970s. She said she got pregnant and gave birth to a girl in a gas station bathroom, according to the report.

Wynn pinned the woman against a refrigerator during one of the rapes, she alleged. Wynn then made a phone call, kissed her on the cheek and left, according to the report. It's not clear from the report how Wynn got into the apartment or what his relation is to the woman.

The shocking revelations come weeks after the 76-year-old billionaire resigned as the Republican National Committee's finance chairman amid allegations that he sexually abused scores of female employees at his namesake Vegas casino.

Wynn also resigned as the chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts earlier this month amid widespread backlash.

In the wake of the disturbing allegations against Wynn, scores of Republicans returned or donated campaign contributions from the casino mogul.

A second woman also recently filed a police report alleging that Wynn forced her to resign after she rebuffed his sexual advances in 1976. The woman told cops that she had consensual sex with Wynn "several times" but refused once and was subsequently forced to step down from her position as a dealer at the Golden Nugget casino.
