Donald Trump raped me in a Manhattan store dressing room — Journalist Jean Carroll tells US Court.
At a civil trial on Wednesday, April 26, to establish if the former U.S. president abused her and then lied about it, a writer described in vivid detail how Donald Trump allegedly raped her nearly 30 years earlier.
E. Jean Carroll addressed the jury in federal court in Manhattan, saying, "I'm here because Donald Trump raped me and when I wrote about it, he lied and said it didn't happen." "I'm here to try and get my life back," the speaker said. "He lied and destroyed my reputation."
Carroll, a 79-year-old former advice writer for Elle magazine, is suing Trump, 76, for unspecified damages. Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination for president in the 2024 election.
at her claim, she alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her at a Bergdorf Goodman department store changing room in late 1995 or early 1996 before she could escape.
Donald Trump, according to Carroll, defamed her by branding her rape claim a fake, lie, and "complete con job" on his Truth Social media platform. He also said she was not his "type" and had made up the incident to sell her memoir.
She is also suing under the Adult Survivors Act of New York, which permits individuals to file lawsuits against accused abusers years after the statute of limitations has passed.
