Judge in E. Jean Carroll Case: Yes, Donald Trump Is a Rapist
 

On Wednesday, Trumps request for a new trial in the E. Jean Carroll case, 
after he was found liable for sexual abuse, battery, and defamation, was 
rejected. And in his desperate attempt to avoid accountability, the twice-
impeached and twice-indicted former president may have unintentionally 
allowed himself to now be formally known as a rapist.

Trumps team had requested a new trial in the case, arguing that the $5 
million in damages he was ordered to pay Carroll was excessive, because he 
was only charged with sexual abuse. The jury had not found that Trump raped 
Carroll, a talking point Trumps team often parroted.

But Judge Lewis Kaplan called Trumps semantic argument entirely 
unpersuasive. He clarified that the jury found that the former president 
did indeed rape Carroll based on the common definition of the word.

Kaplan noted that New York penal law (the jury in the Carroll case was 
based in New York) has a far narrower definition of the word rape than in 
common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries, in some 
federal and state criminal statutes, and elsewhere.

The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was raped within the 
meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove 
that Mr. Trump raped her as many people commonly understand the word rape, 
Kaplan wrote.

Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury 
found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that [rape, as commonly 
understood].

A United States District Judge has now formally held, in a lengthy written 
opinion, that it is perfectly appropriate, and, indeed, entirely accurate, 
to call a certain former President of the United States a rapist, noted 
George Conway, lawyer and husband to former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway.

All that to say, based on the legal language, a rapistfor the third 
presidential cycle in a rowis leading the 2024 Republican primary.
