An author who accused Donald Trump of raping her in the ’90s plans to sue the former president for battery under a new New York state law.

Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll, an Elle magazine former advice columnist, said Thursday she will file suit in Manhattan federal court, Bloomberg reported.

The Adult Survivors Act, passed by Albany earlier this year, placed a temporary suspension of the statute of limitations on sex crimes. This allowed Carroll and other victims a one-year window to file civil lawsuits against their attackers.

A coincidence the passed just in time to go after Trump...

No ex post facto law is constitutional.

[LeonardFMason]

This “turd” of a law will be flushed quickly.

[EEGator]

So I assume the case should be dismissed?

Civil suits only require ‘more likely than not’ to succeed. Basically you just have to convince a jury the allegations are 50.01% likely to be true, then you win.

Even if he did it (which I don’t believe), this would normally fall under the Grandfather Clause, no?

[Ros42]

Well that didn’t take long🙄

You might ask the Admin Mod to remove all that spurious stuff from the headline/title.

Who’s funding her lawyers?

Even if he did it (which I don’t believe), this would normally fall under the Grandfather Clause, no?

My off hand understanding is that the Legislature is free to extend an unexpired statute of limitations, but it cannot revive a cause action already barred by limitations.

Of course, you have to balance that against the custom of some judges of ruling against Trump without reference to the merits of his case.

Don’t worry, there 2000 other paid liars lined up to press false charges against Trump, when this story fades......

[NWFree]

I guess she saw Trumps announcement again

[NWFree]

She’s been waiting since the 1990’s 🙄

I looked at some photos and saw that lady has crazy eyes.   There is no way that President Trump would have had anything to do with her.

[DownInFlames]

Yep. Beat me to it.

[Pollard]

good job on the title
