An excerpt from a notorious “Access Hollywood” tape in which former President Donald Trump seems to brag about sexually assaulting women will be allowed into evidence at his upcoming trial in the alleged rape of writer E. Jean Carroll.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan said Trump’s statements on the 2005 recording — in which he described moving on a woman “like a b–ch” — could lead a jury to infer that Trump has assaulted or attempted to assault women in the past.
“In this case, a jury reasonably could find, even from the Access Hollywood tape alone, that Mr. Trump admitted in the Access Hollywood tape that he in fact has had contact with women’s genitalia in the past without their consent, or that he has attempted to do so,” Kaplan wrote in the ruling Friday.
The former advice columnist sued Trump for defamation in 2020 for statements he made denying he ever sexually assaulted her.
Carroll alleges the former president raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s.
She filed a related suit in 2022 for the alleged attack under New York’s Child Victims Act, which allowed sexual assault accusers to sue over claims that would have previously been barred by the statute of limitations.
A Manhattan federal trial is scheduled for April.
In her suit, Carroll alleges Trump sexually assaulted her in 1995 or 1996 at Bergdorf’s after the pair coincidentally ran into each other in the luxury department store.

“I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened,” Trump told The Hill in 2019.

What rape, seriously he says he never met the whacko who once said that rape was “Sexy” he said he never met her, never had sex with her, EVER
Any adverse verdict against Trump would/will be reversed on appeal due to Access Hollywood tapes inclusion as evidence. Good 14th century jurisprudence.
B.S. It was obvious he was doing a comedy routine to anyone actually watching the tape. It was so obvious that to take it as serious admission is simply a lie.
Always nice when the judge commits reversible error. Seeing as how appeals are based on law that makes it easier.
She says she has a dress with his semen on it. She's kept it for almost 30years.
Talk about prejudicial. This Judge is an absolute hack. 0 relevance to the case. DC court or NY court means Trump has chance, none.

Inference is not evidence.
It’s a Clinton judge so logic and lack of bias are not evident in this one.
This is the woman who started talking about rape fantasies on Anderson Cooper’s program. And Anderson quickly went to a commercial to cut her off.
Yeah I remember that, Anderson Cooper interviewing her and she said rape is sexy! “Quick, cut to a commercial”
Let. Implies consent. Stupid trash talking. Asinine judge in a nonsense court case.
Trump never said he grabbed anyone’s genitalia. Billy Bush said it. Trump just said “and they let you.”
Is a Clinton judge also handling Hunter Biden’s trial?/s
Access Hollywood?
What, they couldn’t find a Jerry Springer tape to admit for evidence?
What about the women who said you raped them, TheGagLine? What are we to think of all of their claims?
Someday they will successfully prosecute Trump under the six ways from sunday statute
The fact is as he stated them, Rich and famous people can literally use the “grab them by the crotch method of seduction, and win a freebie. Ask any rock star. Ask a good looking guy on Spring Break.
My wife says, women and girls talking alone, say and tell that they do the same thing, and in a coarser manner.
President Donald Trump seems to brag about sexually assaulting women. *******************
Access Hollywood don’t edit tapes huh Moe.
