Donald Trump, a former U.S. president, has for the first time been convicted guilty of sexually abusing magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. The jury held Mr. Trump liable for sexual assault and defamation after a two-week civil trial with only three hours of jury deliberation. However, they did not find him guilty of rape. The verdict mandated that he pay Ms. Carroll $5,000,000 in compensatory damages. She testified throughout the trial that Donald Trump had sexually attacked her in either 1995 or 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in Manhattan.

On April 25, the trial officially began, and Trump was not there the entire time. The decision was described as a shame by Donald Trump in a blog post on his Truth Social platform, and he insisted that he had no idea who this woman was.
