U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan made the determination in an order in advance of a Jan. 16 trial to determine defamation damages against Trump after a jury concluded Trump sexually abused columnist E. Jean Carroll but did not find evidence was sufficient to conclude that he raped her.
Trump, speaking in Iowa on Saturday as the Republican frontrunning presidential candidate in advance of a Jan. 15 primary, criticized the judge as a “radical Democrat” and mocked E. Jean Carroll for not screaming when she was attacked. “It was all made up,” he said.
Carroll, 80, won a $5 million award last May from a jury that concluded Trump sexually abused her in 1996 in a luxury department store dressing room and defamed her in 2022.
If I remember right the state law defines rape as forced penis in vagina hence the sexual assault.
So what they are arguing is “The president of the united states ONLY fingerfucked a random stranger in a dressing room against her will and never managed to get his dick in.”
So yea, solid argument. You guys sick of winning yet?
Victim couldn’t tell if it was his penis or finger. Victim was his wife. Boy if I had a nickel for every time he didn’t technically rape someone, I’d prolly have enough money to buy a SCOTUS Justice.
Edit: I’m referring to two separate instances. Remember when dealing with trump and an unconscionable and horrific act it should be best practice to determine which instance as there’s usually multiple to choose from.

Woowa is marital rape still legal is some parts of the USA?
In that case she wrote about it in her book but refused to testify in court to it.
Yes. It’s sickening.
The argument was proffered at the very least. It wasn’t in a trial though.

E. Jean Carroll never married Donald Trump, and that is some weird misinformation you’re spreading.
Separate instances. Trump has abused more than one woman after all.
