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.

Darn. Maybe I can still go after Mick Jagger. He made a pass at me 'bout 40 years ago.(YUCK!) I don't recall if it was at Gildersleeves or The Bottom Line club. I know the location though. Oh and I was underage. LOL
Oh, maybe Harvey Keitel also... nah. He was a gentleman...
NY was very loving back in the day....
Oh, wait! this law was created for President Trump. Guess it won't apply for me :(
I didn’t hear the tape, but have seen
the “she’s not my type” cull from it a dozen times. KNEW that was a big mistake strategically first time I heard it.It plays perfectly into the perception of DJT as what I called “lewd,rude, and crude” and implies that if she WAS his type, he would’ve ( or at least MIGHT have) raped her. SURE, it will be appealed, and who knows how long it can be made to drag on...real question is, will they try for a legal decision on this or some other “issue” that makes Trump literally ineligible to run and/or occupy the Oval Office even if he does win?

Carroll just “completely forgot” about the billionaire that funded her case against DJT. Much like she completely forgot what year the made up rape took place.

Is that anything like a white girl claiming a black male whistled at her in the fifties?
No witnesses or anything caught on camera? Then how on earth did they get a win on this?
They DID NOT
They convicted him of defaming her- how can you defame someone who is defaming you?
isn’t ‘defamation’ a civil penalty?
Not a felony... not even a misdemeanor.
So he’s not a ‘convicted felon’
besides, this will be overturned
he is legally a convicted sex offender
Except this was a civil suit not a criminal suit dumbass
Not the time for joking. He *should* know better.
Yep.
100% true. This should not even be a question. But he just couldn’t help himself. A lack of self-discipline. Again.
You’re showing contemporaneous photos of Paula Jones and Tara Reade — and a photo of E Jean Carroll decades after the assault.
I know this is a meme from Twitter or somewhere else, but it’s dishonest not to show the photo of Carroll AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED, when she was younger and admittedly, more attractive.
It wasn’t exactly a joke. It was a biting remark that was well deserved.
She has now admitted she has been raped 6 times but has no details of the alleged other rapes or when they might have occurred. The story she told on Trump was in a Law & Order Episode and she said she was a big Law & Order fan. I think she actually believes these things happened and is a mental case.
He is not a convicted sex offender, that is criminal and even if he was there is no bar in running for Federal office and restrictions, I remind you former impeached Federal judge Alcee Hastings who is now in Congress or was.
Depends of whether her Billionaire backer keeps footing the legal bills.
