Trump's Legal Woes Continue Amid Sexual Assault Allegations.
TL;DR Summary
A jury found former President Donald Trump liable for both battery and defamation in the case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s. The verdict is significant because it is the first time Trump has been held responsible for a sexual assault in the legal record. The trial also allowed for a broader evaluation of Trump's treatment of and language about women, and established that no one should be too famous or influential to face consequences for their actions.
