The jury of a civil court in New York retired Tuesday, May 9 to deliberate and determine whether former US President Donald Trump committed rape or sexual assault in 1996. They will have to decide whether the complainant, former Elle E.
columnist Jean Carroll, demonstrated that Donald Trump raped, sexually assaulted, or groped her without her consent in a fitting room at a New York department store, Bergdorf Goodman, in the spring of 1996. If they unanimously answer yes to any of these three questions, jurors will decide if the 76-year-old Republican billionaire must pay damages to Carroll.
