He was found liable for both sexual abuse and defamation. By any common parlance (aka the court of public opinion you seem so fond of), placing your fingers in a persons vagina against their will is rape.
You must live in one hell of a rightwing media bubble.
âFederal Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in August that the jury verdict showed Carrollâs rape allegation was âsubstantially trueâ and dismissed the counterclaimâ
The counterclaim here: That Carrollâs description of the event as rape was defaming. It was dismissed because the event was rape in any normal parlance, and in many other states.
âBut the main thing, oddly, thatâs going on in this country is people do not know that Donald Trump was held liable for sexual (abuse),â Carroll, 81, told the Montclair crowd.
âThey just donât know it. It wasnât in their Facebook feeds. It wasnât on their Instagram. They do not know. My next-door neighbor did not know that I had sued and beat Donald Trump. She did not know because she is on Instagram â thatâs where she gets her stories. So this film now is extremely (important), that it gets out there and people see it because they donât know what he did. They just donât know.â
i can see ignorance from the everyday man.
but here in a political forum, where we discussed this case ad infinitim.
Correct - but in what peek-a-boo routinely calls the court of public opinion, if someone places fingers in a womanâs vagina against her will we call that rape. In many states, it is officially rape.
