American author Jean Carroll (79) accused Donald Trump (76) of sex crimes in her testimony in the civil trial against the former president. “Trump raped me,” the 79-year-old said in New York on Wednesday about Trump’s alleged act in the mid-1990s at a New York luxury department store. According to media reports, she told the jury how Trump first approached her asking for help with a gift for a friend.
As a result, he signaled her to go to a dressing room with him. According to Carroll, he pressed against her there and penetrated the writer first with his fingers and then with his penis. Carroll went on to say that she eventually pushed Trump away and fled the department store. “I was embarrassed, I thought it was my fault,” Carroll said, according to the New York Times. After the incident, she was unable to enter into romantic relationships.
Real estate entrepreneur Trump, who was not yet a politician at the time, denied the allegation. The criminal charges are time-barred, but under civil law, Carroll was free to sue. It is estimated that the trial – which started on Monday – could take a week. Trump himself has not yet appeared.
Carroll is suing Trump for damages. She had made the rape allegation public in 2019 in a book excerpt. Trump responded at the time, among other things, by noting that Carroll was not his type. He also accused her of just wanting to boost sales of her book. The writer then sued Trump – initially for defamation for portraying her as a liar. A new law in New York recently made it possible to add the charge of bodily harm.
Trump, 76, is under investigation for a number of possible crimes. He himself describes the actions of law enforcement against him as politically motivated because he is running again as a Republican presidential candidate for the 2024 election.
