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.

The jury took the words of the judge, which E.Jean NEVER claimed, that he had kissed on on f=her face/cheek, which was an unwanted sexual abuse.
As well as “bill of attainder”, because this law was clearly intended just to “get Trump.”
Then he needed to testify to that. He could have testified. The thing I think you are tripped up with is civil tort standards are very different from criminal complaints. In this case is just the preponderance is the evidence. Considering trump failed to testify the jury apparently decided that there was enough evidence that sexual abuse claim was valid and that does not require an exact date and time which would be needed to show beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yawn. More fake news and dual systems. Biden had this claim made about him. They shut her up real quick and there was evidence of them actually in the same room.
“Not Guilty”
“Not Guilty”
“Not Guilty”
We will repeat until it’s believed. Including all these cases.
We CAN do this too!
And yet, Bill Xlinton still walks free.
Fck this justice system.
What’s the fastest creature on Earth today?
A women running from accountability.
Go out in public without escort/buddy system/ carry, your accountable.
No, SHE claimed that he had penetrated her vagina with either his penis or his fingers, she couldn’t be sure which it was. Either would be battery, but it would only meet the legal definition of rape if he had done it with his penis. You can argue about who you believe, but the jury believed her and they concluded that he had committed sexual battery. Did you even pay any attention to what she accused him of doing?
“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.”
A friggin’ ‘law’ NY passed for just this occasion!
What a crock. Thrown out on appeal, no doubt, but the Enemy Media gets it’s pound of flesh and Advertising Dollars while they trash President in Exile, Trump. :(
We are in SUCH a World Of Hurt these days. Glad I’ll be dead and have left no heirs before it ALL comes to fruition.
*SPIT*
maybe trump should now sue wasp woman carroll for defamation in a red state court.
$500 million plus andother $500M punitive should do it.
What about Billy Boy Clinton?
It’s not Trumps fault he was convicted.
How specifically, did he sexually abuse her?

Exactly true for me. A shame we good people have to be in that position now.
She claimed that he put his fingers into her vagina.
But you said he shouldn’t appeal, because his likelihood of prevailing is slim. I said he must appeal, so as to avoid this verdict being used politically, despite the fact that his chances are slim. His counsel, it seems, agrees with me, as does Orange Man Great.
And ill stand by that. Given that the conclusion of his last lawsuit included paying sanctions in the amount of $937,000 to Hillary Clinton, with all due respect I think Trump’s choice of legal strategies isn’t above scrutiny
But that would be considered rape which claimed he raped her and the jury found that he was not liable for rape.???
