She claimed rape, and the jury said no. Trump should win on appeal.
If you've ever been in a department store in NYC you know damn well there is no room or privacy to misbehave.
While the jury found that Trump sexually abused her, sufficient to hold him liable for battery, the jury did not find that Carroll proved he raped her.
In videos posted to his social media platform Truth Social Tuesday evening, Trump said he plans to appeal the verdict, calling it a “disgrace” and “political witch hunt.” He also repeated his claim he did not know who Carroll was.
“This was a rape claim. This was rape case all along and the jury rejected that, but made other findings,” he said. “But they rejected her rape claim and she’d always claimed this was a rape case so it’s a little perplexing, but we move forward.”
