A jury has found that Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.
The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her, ordering the former President to pay her $5million in damages.
Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by more than two dozen women, but this has so far been the only case to end up before a jury.
Carroll, 79, sued for battery under the Adult Survivors Act, a law passed in New York that allowed a one year window for sexual assault claims normally outside of the statute of limitations.
Her claim for defamation was based on statements made by Trump, 76, when he was President and posts to Truth Social, his own social network in which he called her a liar.
Over two weeks the jury heard emotional testimony from three accusers and two of Carroll's friends, among other witnesses, while Trump himself was a no show.

Without knowing the details to the case, my assumption was the whole decision was based on testimony from witnesses?
OK that is why i asked.. thank you
A New York jury.
We should not be surprised by these deranged fools.
Sorry grey_whiskers... I don’t know which of my posts you’re replying to.
Do you mean that the instructions from the judge would be a “reversible error” and grounds for appeal?
I imagine that’s a possibility. I didn’t hear the judge’s full instructions (just what some here have said).
If PDJT’s lawyers aren’t looking into it, I’d want to know why they’re not looking into it.
Unforced errors that we will have to excuse?
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” Trump said
He’s pretty damned close to finding out what happens.
witnesses to what?
Exactly : )
but what if he stands there and GETS shot?!
President Trump was sued personally, though - not by way of any of his businesses.
Which is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. There is no bar for being a candidate even while being in jail. Eugene Debs.
“We were discussing the trial.”
Well, first give me a clue what you mean. I thought this thread was about the trial.
He lost the trial.
The scenario does not specify self defense.
I have no idea. But I believe the article mentioned witnesses.
The judge didn’t find Trump liable, the jury did. No one was found guilty
No rape charges another case of your ugly and fat to abuse case.
IMO this was a necessary diversion by the Deep State to try to distract from the Hunter Biden laptop and the boatload of incriminating evidence it has on many people including his father.
I’m confused here. He was cleared of rape, but somehow is still forced to pay the claimant millions of dollars? Is this another leftie-like-logic (ie no logic at all) mind-bender of ....kinda/sorta guilty but not completely?
It makes no sense. She was either lying completely about the rape...ergo it didn’t happen, and therefore deserves NO payment....or not. What the hell?
What evidence can he produce if he doesn’t know when the incident supposedly happened? That’s my point. What is he supposed to testify to? He can’t possibly refute any of her claims because he has no idea when it occurred.
