Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll
www.washingtonpost.com
What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

All the news headlines and verdict said sexual abuse, which was kind of vague, but I just found out today that the judge clarified that this was a matter of legal definition and by the verdict of the trial and the case, trump has been found guilty of penetrative rape.

      I cannot imagine the ordeal for the victim when a bunch of folks in suits discusses if someone forced his dick inside of you or “just” his fingers…

        Pretty horrifying.

        At least trump was found liable, though. I was thinking of a victim exposing themselves in the courtroom and the countless times a jury finds for the rich douchebag with more lawyers.

          Not a convict because it was a civil case rather than criminal, trump is still a rapist according to a judge and jury.

          I only bring this up so that if you ever get in a debate or someone says he’s not a rapist, they can’t falsely dismiss that trumpi is a rapist on a technicality within your statement.

          Trump is a rapist.
