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.

    The party line was that he technically wasn’t accused of rape, and while I would have thought he was a rapist anyway, without the judge explicitly and publicly stating that Trump is a rapist， I would have never known from reading the articles about the trial.
