A federal judge in New York has dismissed former President Donald Trump's counterclaim against the writer E. Jean Carroll, finding that Carroll's assertion that Trump raped her is"substantially true."in the mid-1990s and awarded her $5 million, but did not find him liable for"rape." Trump's attorneys claimed she defamed him in an interview the next day, on May 10, when she said he raped her — an allegation she had made repeatedly over the years.
He wrote that while the jury concluded Trump was not liable for rape according to New York penal code — which requires proof of forceful penetration involving the attacker's genitals — the jurors' conclusion that he was liable for sexually abusing her by forcefully inserting his fingers was an"implicit determination that Mr. Trump digitally raped her."Kaplan's conclusion echoed what he wrote in a July 19 court filing, that"Mr. Trump did in fact digitally rape Ms.
"The definition of rape in the New York Penal Law is far narrower than the meaning of 'rape' in common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes, and elsewhere," Kaplan wrote on July 19. Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan — who is not related to the judge — said Monday she and Carroll are"pleased" with the ruling.
Alina Habba, an attorney for Trump, said,"We strongly disagree with the flawed decision and will be filing an appeal shortly."
