Jury finds Trump DID sexually abuse E. Jean Carroll in Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s: Ex-President is cleared of rape but ordered to pay her $5m damages

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.

It will strengthen Donald Trump. Everywhere (with the exception of New York Lunatics) it will be viewed as what it is - an attempt to destroy someone that they don’t like. The Statue of Limitations will be the first reason for overturning it, but so many other reasons apply. Now if it stays in NYC, then he would probably lose on appeal, but hopefully this is reason for a change in venue...Any opinion Law Experts?

O what Date did this supposed rape actually happen? Oh that’s right, she doesn’t remember.

The Judge told the jury that even an innocent peck on the cheek meant he was GUILTY OF RAPE.

This asswipe Judge should be brought before a Congressional Hearing to explain himself, then they should crawl through his entire life and find a few people that claim he made unwanted advances, then let them Serve him in Congressional Committee for multiple lawsuits under the same charge.

Trump’s lawyer virtually assured this by their lack of defense.

You can now if you are President Trump, a Conservative, or Republican. This is not your Grand Father’s Justice System. This Justice System belongs to the Left and Democrat Party. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. Or Legal and Illegal.

And RNC Ronna McDaniel is out now, saying Americans are tired of hearing all of the Trump drama and they would like to focus on issues that affect them. So true.

They passed this law FOR this case, for this woman TO ATTACK the POTUS. CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL and completely unverifiable and unprovable.

Justice in America continues to be a joke.

Almost all Trump and his attorney’s action aided the plaintiff. Did Trump want to be found liable?

This isn’t just about Trump anymore.

Deep State is doing its damndest to ensure that nobody even thinks about following in his footsteps.

He’ll break her financially in the appeals court. Battery, a big nothing burger.

He'll break her law firm. I'll guarantee that her lawyer is working on a percentage contingency fee.

And even then the law firm will probably have enough Trump-hating people kick in money that they'll still remain whole.

The plaintiff is a Deep State tool.

She didn’t need any other assistance.

“The Judge told the jury that even an innocent peck on the cheek meant he was GUILTY OF RAPE.”

THAT’S NOT WHAT THE JUDGE SAID. The judge said that an unsolicited peck on the cheek could be BATTERY, which in NY is any intentional offensive bodily touching.
