E. Jean Carroll, now 79, accused Trump of raping her in a fitting room at the famed Bergdorf Goodman store in New York in the '90s.
She sued him in a civil lawsuit for rape and defamation in Manhattan federal court. The statute of limitations had expired due to the passage of time. The possibility of a criminal trial expired over time, but she told her story in an article in 2019 and Trump replied that she was a liar. The jury, consisting of 6 men and three women, decided that the former president was guilty and should pay him for damages caused.
