Jury says Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million for sexual abuse and defamation
A federal jury in New York found former President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and forcibly touching E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s.
Trump was also found liable for defaming the writer last fall when he accused her of making up that account.
The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Carroll, 79, alleged in a lawsuit that Trump raped her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s.
A New York federal jury found former President Donald Trump liable on Tuesday for sexually abusing and forcibly touching the writer E. Jean Carroll at a department store in the 1990s, and for defaming her last fall when he denied her claim.
The jury of six men and three women ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
The verdict in the civil trial came after less than three hours of deliberations in U.S. District Court in lower Manhattan.
The jury notably did not find Trump liable for rape, as Carroll had alleged.
“I have absolutely no idea who this woman is. This verdict is a disgrace,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media site Truth Social.
