Carroll, 79, told jurors in Manhattan federal court that Trump, 76, raped her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1995 or 1996, and then ruined her reputation by denying it happened. Jurors were tasked with deciding whether Trump raped, sexually abused or forcibly touched Carroll, any one of which would satisfy her claim of battery. They were separately asked if Trump defamed Carroll.
The verdict is another legal stain on Trump’s 2024 presidential bid. He has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan — the first criminal charges ever laid against a former U.S. president.
