NEW YORK: A New York jury found Donald Trump liable on Tuesday for sexually abusing and defaming an American former magazine columnist and ordered the ex-president to pay her US$5 million in damages.
Carroll, 79, sued Trump last year, alleging that he raped her in the changing room of the luxury Bergdorf Goodman store on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in 1996. The jury determined that Carroll had proved sexual abuse - effectively sexual contact without consent - by a preponderance of the evidence and awarded her US$2 million.
US magazine columnist E Jean Carroll departs the Manhattan Federal Court in New York City on May 9, 2023. Trump slammed the outcome on his social media platform Truth Social. Carroll told the two-week-long civil trial that the assault had left her feeling"ashamed" and unable to have romantic relationships.Her lawyers called to the witness stand two other women who testified that Trump sexually assaulted them decades ago.
