Former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll sued former President Donald Trump for the second time on Thursday, alleging defamation and battery under a new law in New York that allows adult sex assault victims to file claims that would otherwise be barred by the passage of time.
New York's Adult Survivors Act, which took effect on Thanksgiving, opens a one-year window for adult victims to file claims.
It also alleged battery as she seeks to hold him accountable for the sexual assault that he has long denied. Trump called Carroll's claim"a Hoax and a lie" in a post last month on his social media platform Truth Social."And, while I am not supposed to say it, I will. This woman is not my type!" the post added.
