Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation — and ordered to pay more than $5 million in damages — by a federal jury in writer E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit accusing him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room decades ago.
The nine person jury — three women and six men — decided the case after three hours of deliberations that began just before noon Tuesday.
The jurors found that Carroll, 79, proved her 2019 lawsuit claiming that the 45th president raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room — most likely in 1996.
They also found in favor of Carroll on her claim that the ex-president defamed her in a lengthy Oct. 12, 2022 Truth Social post claiming her accusations were a “hoax.”
The decision comes after eight days of trial spread over three weeks, where the jury heard from 11 witnesses including Carroll, two other Trump accusers and two pals who Carroll confided in about the alleged attack.

TDS jury. Appeals to begin.
What a bunch of BS. He must have been found guilty for pecking her on the cheek.
That goes to show what a complete joke that jurisdiction is and how hopelessly politically corrupt it is.
Ridiculous New York fed jury.
Absolutely outrageous what they’re doing to this man.
It appears this article is inaccurate?
They found no on rape.
In terms of public opinion, who cares? Our legal system is a joke and has no moral authority.
Insane verdict. Packed jury, corrupt judge, no way to dissent because your life would be ruined if you voted not liable.
I can only think of one person in history who has been persecuted worse.
Yep. Appeals away!!!
Exactly, article is lying because that’s all they want is the Rapist tag to throw around
Gives a new meaning to “witch hunt”.
I agree with you sadly .
The whole case was ridiculous. She didn’t prove anything.
Yep.
Oh come on.. don’t leave us hanging! You have to tell us who!!
We’re no longer a republic.
Until that changes, the law is now whatever Deep State says it is.
I aint sayin shes a gold digger but.....
