Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll

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.
