BREAKING NEWS: A New York City jury found that former President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed journalist E. Jean Carroll in 1996 trump
Today, in one of the few healing moments of the 2020s, a jury found that former President Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in 1996, and defamed her reputation after she came forward in her book, What Do We Need Men For?. She will be receiving a $5 million payout for both battery and defamation, according to CNN.
ADVERTISEMENT Carrol suffered through one of the most dehumanizing, agonizing and torturous experiences a person can go through, and much like thousands of other women across the world, she was asked “well, why didn’t you stop it?” For anyone who does not understand this yet: the onus is not on the victim to stop a crime. Every time this kind of question is asked, the victim’s testimony is questioned, their truth is sullied, and they are made to feel guilty about someone else’s horrific crime.
Nearly 30 women have accused Trump of sexual assault, and he not only did he win the presidency in 2016, he has garnered a cult-leader status. Trump is not just an exception. Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh both faced high-profile sexual assault testimonies, and were still elected into the Supreme Court. Then there’s Senator Al Franken. And Roy Moore. And George H.W. Bush. And John Conyers Jr. And Dean Westlake. And Don Shooter. And Sebastian Ridley-Thomas. And Joseph Souki.
Carroll, who is a successful journalist and author, had to publicly share the details of the rape that took place in a Bergdof Goodman department store. Though she is a Democrat, Carroll reassured the jury that this case was not due to her political leanings.
