If they believed Carroll, jurors were able to award compensatory and punitive damages. Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Carroll or even knew her.Kaplan told jurors that the first question on the verdict form will be to decide whether they think there is more than a 50% chance that Trump raped Carroll inside a store dressing room. If they answered yes, they would then decide whether compensatory and punitive damages should be awarded.
Meanwhile, Trump posted a new message on social media, complaining that he was now awaiting the jury’s decision “on a False Accusation.” He said he is “not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard-nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me.” Carroll, 79, testified that she had a chance encounter with Trump at the Bergdorf Goodman store across the street from Trump Tower. She said it was a lighthearted interaction in which they teased each other about trying on a piece of lingerie before Trump became violent inside a dressing room.
