NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- A jury on Tuesday found former President Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in a lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll that claimed Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s then defamed her when he denied the claim in 2022.
Jury members found that Trump did not rape Carroll but sexually abused her, and awarded her a total of $5 million.
Under cross examination by defense attorney Joe Tacopina, Carroll said she didn't report the alleged attack because, as a woman born in the 1940s, she's a member of the"silent generation" that didn't speak up about such things. The exchange came after Tacopina introduced several of her advice columns for Elle magazine in which she suggested that her readers call police in the event of a sexual assault or threat.
The attorney subsequently informed the court that Trump had decided he would not testify -- but then, while golfing in Europe, Trump made remarks suggesting he would return to New York to confront his accuser.
