department store changing room. She is also suing him for defamation after Trump accused Carroll of lying when she went public with her account of the alleged assault in 2019.
Stoynoff said that Trump spoke to her later and suggested that sex with him would be the “best ever”. Earlier in the day, a leading clinical psychologist told the trial that Carroll was “doubled over with stomach pain” as she recalled the alleged rape. The psychologist concluded Carroll has been harmed in three main ways. These include suffering from “painful intrusive memories” for many years and a “diminishment” in how she thinks and feels about herself. But Lebowitz said that perhaps the most prominent effect was Carroll “manifests avoidance syndromes” that have stopped her having a romantic life.
Carroll testified earlier in the trial that she stopped having sex after the alleged assault at the age of 53. Last week, Trump’s lawyer pressed Carroll under cross-examination about why she didn’t scream if she was being raped, and why she had offered differing explanations for doing so. Carroll said a number of factors could all have been at play.Lebowitz told the trial on Wednesday it was not uncommon for victims of sexual assault to stay silent while they were being attacked. She said Carroll’s brain would have been flooded with stress hormones, which can lead to unexpected behavior.
