Violent sexual assault.
Facts:
U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that the May verdict clearly proved disparaging comments Trump made about Carroll in 2019 were false. Those comments do not need to be aired again to prove liability to jurors in
a civil defamation trial scheduled for January, Kaplan said.
Instead, the jury will hear testimony about whether Trump should pay Carroll damages for defaming her — and decide how much, if any, to award.

Asked for comment on Kaplan’s ruling Wednesday, Trump attorney Alina Habba said she was confident that May verdict “will be overturned on appeal, which will render this decision moot.”
Jury in civil trial finds Trump sexually abused, defamed E. Jean Carroll
NEW YORK — A civil jury in New York found Tuesday that former president Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll, a writer who has
accused him of assaulting her in the mid-1990s.
Jurors deliberated for a little under three hours before siding with Carroll, awarding her a combined $5 million in damages. The verdict was an undeniable victory for Carroll, who testified during the trial that Trump
violently assaulted her and, years later, unleashed
further trauma by ridiculing her as a liar once she spoke out.
For Trump, the verdict was a striking defeat, the latest legal setback as he seeks another term in the White House and faces a
separate criminal case in New York and ongoing investigations in Washington and Fulton County, Ga. Trump, 76, has been accused by
more than a dozen women of sexual assault or misconduct over the years, but never before had any of those claims been fully litigated in court and decided by a jury. He assailed the verdict as a “disgrace,” and his representatives said Trump would appeal.
