Donald Trump Case: Former US President Donald Trump has suffered a major setback. Trump has been found guilty of sexual assault in Manhattan federal court in New York. The court has imposed a fine of $ 50 lakh i.e. Rs 410 crore on him in the case of sexual exploitation and defamation. The case pertains to the sexual exploitation of a woman in the 1990s.
A New York court has ruled that Donald Trump has been found guilty of sexually abusing magazine writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. The jury also accused Trump of defaming Carroll by calling him a liar. The court ordered Trump to pay $5 million to Carol in damages. Meanwhile, Tacopina, the former US President’s lawyer, said during a media interaction that Trump would appeal again.
Donald Trump’s sexual assault case
Carroll, 79, testified during the civil trial that Trump, 76, raped her in a dressing room at a Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1995 or 1996. In October 2022, by writing a post on his Truth social platform, he damaged his reputation. He said that all the claims of Trump are false. Carroll mentioned this in his book. Now after the court’s decision, Carol said in a statement, today the world finally knows the truth. This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed. Carroll was one of more than a dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment.
Let us inform that the hearing was held on April 25 in this case of sexual abuse. Trump was not present in the court at that time. In a post on his Truth social platform, he called the verdict a disgrace and said that he has absolutely no idea who this woman is. Now the 9-member jury, after deliberating for three hours, gave a unanimous verdict. However, Trump will not have to pay the fine while the case is on appeal. Donald Trump has suffered a major setback when this decision comes before the 2024 US presidential election. Even Trump was campaigning for the upcoming elections.
