A federal appeals court has upheld a $5 million verdict in favor of E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump, finding that the former president-elect sexually abused and defamed her.
A federal appeals court upheld a $US5 million ($8 million) verdict that E. Jean Carroll won against Donald Trump . A jury found the former US president-elect liable for sexually abusing and later defaming the former magazine columnist.
A unanimous three-judge panel of the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump’s argument that the trial judge should not have let jurors hear evidence about the Republican’s alleged past sexual misconduct, stating that the evidence established a “repeated, idiosyncratic pattern of conduct” consistent with Carroll’s allegations. The court said that evidence, including Trump bragging about his sexual prowess during the 2016 US presidential campaign, made the trial and verdict fair. The May 2023 verdict stemmed from an incident around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, where Carroll said Trump raped her, and an October 2022 Truth Social post where Trump denied Carroll’s claim as a hoax. Though jurors in federal court in Manhattan did not find that Trump committed rape, they awarded Carroll $US2.02 million for sexual assault and $US2.98 million for defamation. A different jury ordered Trump in January to pay Carroll $US83.3 million for defaming her and damaging her reputation in June 2019, when he first denied her rape claim
