A federal judge has upheld a $5 million jury verdict against Donald Trump, rejecting the ex-president's claim the jury vindicated him by failing to conclude in a civil case that he raped a columnist in a New York department store dressing room in the 1990s
a $5 million jury verdict
Trump’s lawyers had asked Kaplan to reduce the jury award to less than $1 million or order a new trial on damages. In their arguments, the lawyers said the jury's $2 million in compensatory damages granted for Carroll's sexual assault claim was excessive because the jury concluded that Trump had not raped Carroll at Bergdorf Goodman's Manhattan store in the spring of 1996.
He said the definition of rape was “far narrower” than how rape is defined in common modern parlance, in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes and elsewhere. “There was no evidence at all of such behavior. Instead, the proof convincingly established, and the jury implicitly found, that Mr. Trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll’s vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm,” Kaplan wrote.

Donald Trump loses bid for new trial in E. Jean Carroll caseA federal judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's request for a new trial after a jury found the former U.S. president liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million. Kaplan said the unanimous May 9 verdict was 'almost entirely in favor of Ms. Carroll,' and neither a 'seriously erroneous result' nor a 'miscarriage of justice.' Carroll, 79, accused Trump, 77, of raping her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, and defaming her when he branded the incident a hoax in an October 2022 post on his Truth Social platform.
