A Manhattan jury reached a verdict Tuesday in the case of E.
Jean Carroll's civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump. Carroll
alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room
in the 1990s.
The jury found that “Trump most likely sexually abused E.
Jean Carroll” and found that Trump defamed Carroll.
Trump most likely sexually abused E. Jean Carroll, according
to a unanimous federal civil jury.
The jury considered whether to hold Trump accountable for
beating Carroll and defaming her, and if so, whether he deserves damages.
"Carroll was able to sue for assault under New York's
Adult Survivors Law, passed last year to allow people who have been sexually
abused a unique opportunity to file civil lawsuits despite relevant statutes of
limitations," HuffPost reported. .
“He also accused Trump of defamation, as the former
president has repeatedly responded to his claims with a series of personal
insults.
Trump has called Carroll a liar and called her claim a
"hoax," which couldn't be true because Carroll wasn't his
"type." He also suggested that she was too old at the time of the
alleged incident to arouse his sexual interest. although they would have been
almost the same age,” the outlet added. CBrief
