In returning a liable verdict in the civil trial, a federal jury decided the former president should pay $5 million in damages for sexual abuse and defamation.
“Donald Trump’s defense here is essentially that there is a vast conspiracy against him,” E. Jean Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan said in a Manhattan federal courtroom on Monday.
During her closing argument, Kaplan showed a chart of Carroll’s allegations alongside those of two other women, Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff, who testified in the trial. Their accusations of sexual assault, all of which Trump has denied, shared common elements: “Semi-Public Place,” “Grab Suddenly,” and “Not My Type.”
Carroll sued Trump in November after the passage of a New York law that granted a one-year window for adult sexual abuse victims to bring lawsuits against their alleged abusers after the statute of limitations has expired. Carroll has written about her initial allegation in 2019 and her experience of the blowback that followed when Trump denied her claim.
